February 26th
It was yet another bitter morning with a strong easterly wind blowing in sleet and snow flurries as we visited Reculver before walking from Chamber's Wall to Coldharbour. There was not a great deal new about but we did see 273 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 2 Red-throated Divers, 1 Lapwing, 13 Mute Swans, 29 Golden Plovers, 2 Little Egrets, 14 Shelduck, 31 Mallard, 20 Reed Buntings, 7 Teal, 12 Redshank, 2 Wigeon, 34 Carrion Crows, 3 Corn Buntings, 6 Skylarks, 26 Chaffinches, 3 Yellowhammers, 2 Great Crested Grebes, 1 Green Woodpecker and 7 Goldfinches.
