December 28th
Although the sun was shining this morning there was a strong, freezing ENE wind blowing as we walked from Chamber's Wall to Coldharbour where I found a smart Lapland Bunting running about on the path. Other birds seen included 20 Blackbirds, 48 Redwings, 26 Fieldfares, 510 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 8 Shelduck, 10 Oystercatchers, 6 Redshank, 54 Carrion Crows, 2 Little Grebes and 1 Stonechat.
