January 27th
We didn't venture out until after lunch and then with a chilly and blustery wind blowing had a short walk at Reculver and a longer one at Shuart. Birds we saw included 44 Mute Swans, 1 Great Crested Grebe, 1 Moorhen, 2 Jays, 1 Little Egret, 10 Redshank, 16 Dark-bellied Brent Geese over the seawall at Minnis Bay, 56 Mallard, 2 Teal and 2 Chiffchaffs.
