The blustery wind had moved round more to the NE this morning as we walked from Chamber's Wall to Coldharbour and Plumpudding before returning along the railway embankment. There was still very little moving but we did see 3 Gannets, 3 Common Scoter, 1 Fulmar, 2 Cuckoos, 1 Blackcap, 1 Ring Ouzel at Chamber's Wall, 8 Whitethroats, 2 Grey Herons, 2 Little Egrets, 8 Mallard, 3 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, 1 Kestrel, 4 Ringed Plovers, 5 Shelduck, 4 Linnets, 1 Yellow Wagtail and 1 Lesser Whitethroat.
