An overcast morning, with light north-north-westerlies and temperatures of 6 degrees C. The seawatch was relatively quiet, although a large feeding flock of 1000 Gannets close inshore provided distraction, whilst 15 Shelduck headed north and 11 Common Scoters flew south. A Lesser Black-backed Gull moved north and the first Razorbills back on the ledges were signs that spring gets ever closer. The Great Northern Diver was again off South Landing.
The Greenland White-fronted Goose was relocated with Greylags off Water Lane, with 111 of the latter scattered across the Headland. Additional wildfowl sightings included 43 Teal, seven Wigeon and 27 Mallard. Thornwick hosted two Coot, five Jack Snipe and two Snipe. Two Barn Owls and a pair of Peregrine were observed, whilst a pair of Mistle Thrush (the male singing) near Church Lane was a welcome record of an ever scarcer species; one Redwing was in the same area and a Stonechat remained near North Marsh.
