Another cloudy day with fog until mid-morning and a maximum temperature of 9°C in a light south-westerly.
Seawatching was profitable with wildfowl providing most highlights: eight Whooper Swans, 66 Pink-footed Geese, 6 Gadwall and one each of Shoveler, Goldeneye and Goosander being the best. Also passing were a Manx Shearwater, a Bonxie and a first-winter Caspian Gull.
Whooper Swans also continued to pass over the Head with 24 in three groups being logged. A Barnacle Goose was at the Lakes while Pink-footed Geese were seen in several locations both in flight and on the ground probably totalling 246. A Goldeneye and Goosander were both on waters at Thornwick. A Merlin was at South Landing and 76 Golden Plover passed over. A late Swallow was at Oceanview. Fieldfares and Redwings continued to come in off with 573 and 62 respectively. Three Chiffchaffs, a Blackcap, 12 Goldcrest, two Siskin and six Lesser Redpolls added interest.
A quiet ringing session at South Landing was enlivened by the capture of a Firecrest.
Two Snow Buntings flew north-west at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
