December 18th
On a blustery but very mild morning we walked along the seawall from Reculver at high tide. It was relatively quiet but we did see 43 Cormorants, 6 Mute Swans, 260 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 2 Kestrels, 1 Pied Wagtail, 4 Turnstones, 4 Stonechats, 14 Lapwings, 23 Redshank, 5 Little Egrets, 26 Carrion Crows and 2 Ringed Plovers.
