There were sunny intervals for the majority of the day, albeit punctuated by wintry showers during the morning; temperatures reached six degrees in a light northerly. Seawatch highlights included a dark-bellied Brent Goose south (having earlier rested on fields adjacent to North Marsh) and a Manx Shearwater north. The outer head’s freshwaters attracted a Shelduck, four Wigeon, 46 Teal, a Little Ringed Plover and six Snipe. Passerine interest included three Wheatears, the Siberian Chiffchaff, two Black Redstarts and two Brambling. The Black-browed Albatross continued to show well at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where there were also two Short-eared Owls on view.
