We appear to have got off lightly after the overnight wintry weather as there was no lying snow and the temperature was just above freezing. However there was a strong NW wind blowing and it still felt bitterly cold as I spent an hour seawatching at Reculver this morning. The only things that appeared to be moving were gulls moving W and I counted 750 Herring Gulls, 1300 Black-headed Gulls, 59 Kittiwakes, 50 Common Gulls, 10 Great Black-backed Gulls and 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Other birds included the usual 676 Cormorants and 53 Dark-bellied Brent Geese with 2 Red-throated Divers and 1 Shelduck.
