January 9th
On a very windy and drizzly morning we walked from Reculver to Coldarbour with Ray O'Reilly. On our way back the rain gradually stopped but the wind still made birding difficult. We managed to record 550 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull E, 14 Mute Swans, 1 Little Grebe, 1 Grey Plover, 4 Shelduck, 22 Ringed Plovers, 14 Mallard, 8 Turnstone, 28 Dunlin, 11 Sanderling and 1 Redshank.
