March 24th

I arrived at Reculver with the sun shining brightly again and walked around the Towers. After this I visited Chamber's Wall with a view to taking a walk out to Coldharbour but half way along the track the sea fog rolled in so I decided to go back and have a look at Shuart where it was less foggy. The morning started well with 2 Black Redstarts at the Towers including a very smart male. Other birds I recorded included 2 Little Egrets, 4 Ringed Plovers, 9 Linnets, 3 Green Woodpeckers, 3 Chffchaffs, 2 Pied Wagtails, 7 Cetti's Warblers, 15 Mallard, 2 Grey Herons, 15 Goldfinches, 1 female Marsh Harrier, 48 Corn Buntings, 3 Redshank, 2 Coot, 1 Stonechat and 14 Tufted Duck.
