The weather consisted of moderate westerly winds, sunny intervals and temperatures reaching nine degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded by a Great Northern Diver flying south. The Whooper Swan and at least five White-fronted Geese lingered on the outer head; a single White-fronted Goose also flew east over South Dykes early morning. A Nuthatch was located in South Dykes, whilst 25 Snow Buntings and five Lapland Buntings frequented stubble fields.
