On another sunny morning I walked from Reculver to Coldharbour and back finding my first summer migrant in the shape of a Black Redstart moving between the Towers and Oyster Farm buildings. Other birds seen included 184 Cormorants flying inland in small groups, 1 Little Owl, 8 Turnstone, 6 Mute Swans, 10 Ringed Plovers, 1 Green Woodpecker, 1 Redshank, 11 Mallard, 5 Shelduck, 1 Little Egret, 8 Meadow Pipits, 10 Teal, 8 Oystercatchers, 18 Great Black-backed Gulls, 269 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 1 Great Crested Grebe, 16 Carrion Crows and an adult male Peregrine.
