Fog continued to hamper observation, with temperatures reaching just five degrees C. The freshwaters at Thornwick hosted two Wigeon, 66 Teal, a drake Pochard, 26 Tufted Ducks and two Little Grebes. RSPB Bempton Cliffs attracted single Woodcock and Grey Partridge, two Golden Plovers and two Fieldfare, while 25 Bottlenose Dolphins were offshore providing further evidence of a change in winter status.
