Highlights of the morning were 3 Black Redstarts found at Reculver. One at the Visitors' Centre by Matt and 2 at the Oyster Farm found by Julian Perry. Unfortunately they moved through rapidly and could not be refound.
We walked from Shuart to White Post Hole and counted 8 Ring-necked Parakeets, 4 Goldfinches, 2 Green Woodpeckers, 1 Kestrel, 59 Mute Swans, 2 Stonechats, the male of which was a stunning "rubicola" bird, 3 Curlews, 37 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 55 Oystercatchers, 12 Ringed Plovers, 1 Pied Wagtail, 53 Turnstone, 2 Redshank, 157 Sanderling, 2 Dunlin, 106 Cormorants, 1 Marsh Harrier, 2 Long-tailed Tits, 1 Chiffchaff and 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker.
