An overcast day, with light rain for the majority of daylight hours, and poor visibility due to thick mist; temperatures reached three degrees by late morning. Birding was difficult due to the poor conditions, although 60 Teal frequented the freshwaters and a Jack Snipe lingered at Thornwick Pools. Apart from five Woodcock, there were few signs of the recent cold weather influx, with only eight Fieldfare and three Redwing remaining.
West of the Dykes, sightings from Sewerby included a drake Pintail and 15 Redwing.
