After yesterday's washout this morning dawned bright but with sub zero temperatures as we arrived at Chamber's Wall. We walked up to Coldharbour and then on to the Oyster Farm with the tide a long way out. The highlight of the morning was finding a Hooded Crow (104th) out on the tide's edge at the Wantsum outflow with some of the local Carrion Crows. This is the first Hooded Crow seen in the area since 2011.
