This morning we controlled an adult Reed Bunting that had originally been ringed at Farlington Marsh, Portsmouth on 13 November 2016. Farlington Marsh is 167 km WSW of Reculver. 

With a  NW breeze blowing Richard Collins had a look at the sea this p.m. There was nothing of great consequence but he did see 6  Red-throated Divers, 2 Gannets, 4 Wigeon and 62 Cormorants.
