Although it was sunny this morning there was a totally different feel to the weather with a fresh NNW wind blowing straight down from the Arctic. In eye-watering conditions we walked from Reculver to Coldharbour and back and saw 34 Swallows and 14 House Martins flying W, 8 Oystercatchers, 5 Whitethroats, 3 Whimbrel W, 1 Bar-tailed Godwit W, 7 Linnets, 3 Pied Wagtails, 3 Wheatears, 3 Shelduck, 4 Ringed Plovers, 16 Mallard, 75 Carrion Crows, 5 Little Egrets, 1 Cuckoo, 2 adult Mediterranean Gulls W, 2 Blackcaps, 4 Goldfinches, 1 Willow Warbler and 1 Green Woodpecker.
