December 3rd
On a very wet morning we decided to have a sheltered seawatch at Minnis Bay and in one and a half hours the birds we saw were mostly flying E. They included 117 Cormorants, 5 Eiders, 20 Common Scoter, 12 Great Crested Grebes, 4 Shelduck, 7 large auks, 33 Brent Geese, 55 Red-throated Divers, 17 Barnacle Geese, 3 Teal and 4 Kittiwakes.
This afternoon a walk along the seawall from Reculver produced 200 Brent Geese, 1 Stonechat and 19 Snow Buntings.
