December 20th

This morning we walked from Reculver to Coldharbour and counted 171 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 1 Kestrel, 11 Mute Swans, 2 Kingfishers, 1 Pied Wagtail, 25 Corn Buntings, 14 Meadow Pipits, 44 Linnets, 10 Oystercatchers, 5 Shelduck, 12 Reed Bunting, 6 Stonechats, 31 Mallard, 27 Common Scoter, 4 Redshank, 1 Little Egret, 2 Little Grebes, 2 Turnstone and 1 Curlew. The most unexpected sight of the morning, as we neared Reculver on our way back, was seeing a man in a swimming costume trying to swim in less than a foot of water off the Towers!!
