On a thoroughly unpleasant morning with a fresh northerly wind blowing in rain and drizzle we walked from Chamber's Wall to Colharbour and then looked at Reculver on the way home. We only managed to find 3 Chiffchaffs, 3 Goldfinches, 11 Whitethroats, 2 Cetti's Warblers, 7 Linnets, 16 Mallard, 2 Shelduck, 6 Oystercatchers, 3 Greenshank, 2 Shovelers, 3 Swallows W, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Turtle Dove, 1 Sandwich Tern, 1 Whimbrel, 2 Gannets and 1 Greylag Goose.
