After we met Anthea Skiffington and Bob Dewire on the track beside the Wantsum and they reported seeing 2 Grey Partridges, they walked on and saw a further 2 near Coldharbour.  The drake Eider was visible nearer to Plumpudding.  They also counted a flock of 45 Sanderlings, 3 Turnstones, 2 Ringed Plovers and around 75 Swallows and 12 House Martins.
