November 23rd

After two days of seawatching this morning was much less windy so we walked from Reculver to Coldharbour and back. We recorded 1 Common Buzzard, 82 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 8 Lapwings on the beach, 2 Kestrels, 1 Peregrine, 4 Stonechats, 2 Little Egrets, 6 Redshank, 12 Meadow Pipits, 4 Oystercatchers, 2 Curlew, 9 Shelduck, 16 Turnstone, 1 Corn Bunting, 43 Ringed Plovers, 1 Grey Plover and surprisingly my first Black Redstart of the year at the Oyster Farm buildings.
