April 1st
The month began as March had finished with an extremely blustery westerly wind. We walked from Reculver to Chamber's Wall and did not see a great deal, just 4 Goldfinches, 112 Cormorants, 4 Meadow Pipits, 1 Turnstone, 43 Linnets W, 4 Shelduck, 4 Ringed Plovers, 5 Dunlin, 6 Redshank, 5 Mute Swans, 10 Mallard, 2 Common Buzzards, 5 Gadwall, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Great Crested Grebe and 7 Tufted Duck. Matt also had 2 Redwings and 3 Chiffchaffs at Shuart as he drove over to meet us.
This evening Marc Heath found 4 Swallows (123rd) south of Reculver.
