January 14th
With the tide a long way out we managed a walk from Reculver to Coldharbour this morning before the rain and gale force winds arrived. We couldn't find the Lapland Buntings but we did see 176 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 1 Kestrel, 1 Kingfisher, 59 Mute Swans, 2 Shelduck, 5 Redshank, 2 Marsh Harriers, 28 Reed Buntings, 1 Common Buzzard, 12 Mallard, 1 Yellowhammer, 2 Tree Sparrows, 20 Corn Buntings, 15 Ringed Plovers, 1 Turnstone and 14 Meadow Pipits.
