Another wintry day with strong easterly winds, frequent snow and hail showers and temperatures barely reaching above freezing.
Due to the poor weather the morning sea watch was undertaken from South Landing. Movement on the sea was particularly quiet with 300 Herring Gull the only notable count. Three Rock Pipit, of which at least two were of the race Littoralis were on the beach, whilst the ravine held a single Woodcock.
Elsewhere on the headland, the female type Black Redstart remained at North Landing, a Jack Snipe was at Thornwick Pools, two White Wagtail and a single Pink-footed Goose were logged. A count of 44 Lapwing was very noteworthy, given the relative scarcity of the species on the headland over recent years.
