After a frosty night, the day remained cold with a temperature maximum of 1°C in a moderate north-westerly.
The morning watch at the Fog Station logged eight Little Auks, a single Great Northern Diver and a Manx Shearwater in addition to 16 Teal, 23 Common Scoter and both Snipe and Woodcock ‘in off’.
A Great Grey Shrike seen briefly at Hartendale and again very briefly in village gardens was surely the bird from Beacon Hill two days ago. A Black Redstart was found at St. Oswald’s Church and a Woodcock was at South Landing with two at South Dykes.
Two Woodcock were also at Bempton Cliffs RSPB where there were also 45 Lapwing, four Snipe and the recent Snow Bunting continued its stay.
