A relatively overcast day, with light south-west winds and spells of light rain. Seawatching highlights included two dark-bellied Brent Geese, a Goosander and one Black-throated Diver flying north, with 30 Turnstone and 20 Purple Sandpipers below the Fog Station.
Fifteen Whooper Swans (12 adults, three juveniles) toured the headland, whilst 18 Wigeon and 55 Teal visited Stainforth’s Flash, where 13 Grey Partridges were also present. Unusually, a Shag visited Thornwick Fishing Pool early morning. A first-winter Mediterranean Gull frequented South Landing beach, where a Snow Bunting flew over. Elsewhere, a Chiffchaff remained in South Dykes, whilst a count of 28 Corn Buntings near mid-Dykes represented a noteworthy record.
