Marc Heath visited Reculver this morning and his highlights were seeing the Snow Bunting, 1 Fulmar flying E and 19 Russian White-fronted Geese. At about 1210, he texted me to say that a Red Kite (136th) was flying our way and I was just in time to see an adult flying back W over the cliff tops at Bishopstone.
