I spent an hour at the Towers just after daybreak and did not see a great deal other than the local gulls. Just 235 Cormorants, 2 Eiders and 1 Dark-bellied Brent Goose. After this we walked from Chamber's Wall to Coldharbour and recorded 31 Fieldfares W, 1 Grey Heron, 9 Chaffinches, 2 Coot, 52 Mallard, 11 Wigeon, 1 Little Grebe, 1 Redshank, 1 Golden Plover, 1 Common Buzzard and 6 Goldfinches.
At Grenham Bay, Terry Wilson counted 20 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 12 Redshank, 58 Oystercatchers, 8 Little Egrets and 3 Meadow Pipits.
An hour spent at Reculver this afternoon produced 53 Kittiwakes W, 10 Gannets, 1 Guillemot E, 1 Great Skua W, 62 Dark-bellied Brent Geese W, 1 Little Egret, 3 Dunlin W and 2 Shelduck W.
