December 31st
On a thoroughly unpleasant morning with a SW gale blowing in showers and trying to blow us off the seawall we walked from Chamber's Wall to Coldharbour. It was a bit of a struggle but we managed to find 13 Fieldfares, 404 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 4 Gadwall, 25 Chaffinches, 18 Reed Buntings, 12 Corn Buntings, 55 House Sparrows, 1 Little Egret, 58 Carrion Crows, 2 Redshank, 61 Mallard, 17 Shelduck, 24 Wigeon, 27 Oystercatchers, 3 Goldfinches, 10 Snow Buntings and 4 Redwings.

We finished 2017 having seen 206 species in the area.
