January 22nd
We arrived at Reculver at first light just as the overnight rain had moved through east. In an uninspiring two hour seawatch we saw 470 Cormorants, 19 Red-throated Divers W, 1 Oystercatcher, 38 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 4 Great Crested Grebes, 30 Common Scoter on the sea down toward Minnis Bay, 1 large auk W, 5 Kittiwakes W, 1 Redshank, 200 Herring Gulls W and 2 Shelduck W.
After this we drove down to Minnis Bay where the tide was coming in and counted 138 Oystercatchers, 61 Grey Plovers, 4 Curlew, 110 Great Crested Grebes, 82 Dunlin, 1 Little Egret, 34 Ringed Plovers, 86 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 1 Fulmar and 14 Redshank.
