On a cold and overcast morning with a chilly SE breeze still blowing we walked from Reculver to Coldharbour returning just before it began to rain. We saw 866 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 1 Peregrine, 4 Mute Swans, 13 Redshank, 1 Kingfisher, 1 Grey Wagtail, 2 Red-throated Divers, 73 Oystercatchers, 5 Ringed Plovers, 1 Dunlin, 4 Grey Plovers, 42 Mallard, 3 Curlews, 2 Shelduck, 6 Cormorants, 23 Carrion Crows and 1 Marsh Harrier.
Julian Perry had 2 Blackcaps, a male and female, feeding in his garden at Bishopstone.
