A day of light south-west winds, sunny skies in the morning, overcast later, with a high of 11 degrees C. Three skeins of Pink-footed Geese (265 birds) flew north-west over the outer head, where 97 Wigeon, 113 Teal and two Shoveler remained. Other records included three Woodcock, three Fieldfare, three Mistle Thrush, six Siskin and two Corn Buntings.
The day’s highlight was a female Mandarin Duck that flew north-west over RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Nearby, an adult Mediterranean Gull moved south over Buckton Pond.
