November 20th
After Storm Angus brought heavy rain and a 106 mph gust just off Margate this morning we arrived at Minnis Bay after lunch. With the tide coming in quickly we walked towards Grenham Bay and counted 37 Great Black-backed Gulls, mainly adults, 137 Oystercatchers, 44 Grey Plovers, 49 Turnstone, 1 Grey Heron, 7 Curlews, 69 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 2 Little Egrets, 31 Redshank, 2 Sanderling, 45 Dunlin and the biggest surprise in the form of a Whimbrel flying W.
