February 4th

On an overcast and breezy morning we walked from Reculver to the Wantsum outflow and saw 400 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 3 Great Black-backed Gulls, 11 Redshank, 28 Oystercatchers, 46 Corn Buntings, 13 Wigeon, 15 Mallard, 1 Curlew, 2 Goldfinches, 1 male Marsh Harrier and 1 Chiffchaff.

This afternoon I received the ringing information of a male Reed Bunting we controlled yesterday at Reculver, It was originally ringed on 3rd October 2022 at Nagden Marsh, Faversham by Jan Pritchard. It had moved 21 km E.
