A wholly grim day of constant buffeting wind and frequent heavy showers. At the Bill the only reports were from the sea, where 2 
Red-throated Divers, 2 
Brent Geese and singles of 
Black-throated Diver and 
Common Scoter passed through; despite the conditions several single 
Meadow Pipits and a 
Pied Wagtail were also logged arriving in off the sea. Elsewhere, 24 
Brent Geese were still at Ferrybridge where a wintering 
Kingfisher was also still about, and 2 
Black-necked Grebes and singles of 
Great Northern Diver, 
Slavonian Grebe and 
Common Scoter were in Portland Harbour.
