After the overnight rain and thunder very little had changed at Reculver with no new birds to be seen. The Nightingale was still singing by the Roman Galley early on after which we looked at Chamber's Wall, Coldharbour and Shuart. We saw 2 Grey Herons, 9 Whitethroats, 3 Chiffchaffs, 1 Little Egret, 6 Mallard, 3 Lapwings, 2 Oystercatchers, 2 Shelduck, 2 Cuckoos, 3 Yellow Wagtails, 2 Ringed Plovers, 4 Sandwich Terns, 4 Common Terns, 1 Cetti's Warbler, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Blackcap and 1 Marsh Harrier.
