A strong north-westerly heavy overnight wintry showers onto the headland overnight to give a light covering of snow and ice to start the day. The temperature never really recovered and by mid-afternoon it had reached 4C before falling away again.
Seawatching was eventful and again included both Great Northern (2) and Black-throated Divers (1), single Velvet Scoter and Long-tailed Ducks flying north while four Pale-bellied Brent Geese headed the same way. Other sightings included a Manx Shearwater, eight Little Auks and the year’s first Black Guillemot.
Another Little Auk flew past South Landing while birds around Flamborough village included two Woodcock, six Fieldfare, three Redwing and also three Brambling.
