Overcast, with frequent showers, strong north-east winds and a maximum of five degrees C. A Great Northern Diver, 255 Fulmars and a ‘northern’ Herring Gull flew north during the morning seawatch. A Puffin off South Landing was unseasonal, with single Shelduck and Bar-tailed Godwit also present. Thornwick Pools hosted 105 Teal, four Wigeon, two Gadwall, a Snipe and two Woodcock. Winter Blackcap records remain unusual, so a male near South Landing was notable; additional passerine records included 15 Fieldfare.
Bird of the day was a Long-eared Owl alongside the Bempton-Flamborough road near the turn off to Wandale Farm after dark.
