On a stormy morning we walked along at Minnis Bay but most of the birds were keeping their heads down and we only saw 4 Curlew, 85 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 42 Oystercatchers and 55 Dunlin.
Next we walked at sheltered sites at both Shuart and Reculver and saw 1 Green Woodpecker, 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers, 10 Long-tailed Tits, 4 Goldcrests, 2 Ring-necked Parakeets, 2 Greenfinches, 2 Sparrowhawks, 2 Common Buzzards, 1 Great Crested Grebe, 1 Grey Wagtail, 1 Coot, 1 Kestrel, 1 Jay and 1 Cetti's Warbler.
