December 4th

After yesterday's washout and heavy overnight rain (24mm) we arrived at a cold and cloudy Reculver this morning and walked up to the Wantsum outflow. We saw 457 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 1 Gannet, 1 Kestrel, 6 Oystercatchers, 6 Redshank, 1 Little Egret, 4 Snow Buntings, 4 Mute Swans, 1 Black Redstart, 3 Shelduck, 26 Mallard, 4 Turnstone, 3 Stonechats, 4 Ringed Plovers, 14 Corn Buntings, 3 Sanderling and 1 Kingfisher.

This afternoon Chris Tedder found a flock of 75 Russian White-fronted Geese on the fields behind the Oyster Farm.
