April 2nd

This morning Matt walked from Reculver to Chamber's Wall and back and I walked from Chamber's Wall to Coldharbour and back along the Green Wall. Between us we saw 1 Chiffchaff, 8 Mute Swans, 11 Chaffinches, 6 Wigeon E, 2 adult Mediterranean Gulls E, 1 Little Egret, 1 Sparrowhawk, 73 Corn Buntings, 42 Stock Doves, 2 Stonechats, 6 Mallard, 4 Oystercatchers, 6 Linnets, 1 Yellowhammer and 2 Kestrels. On his way home Matt dropped in to Upper Hale and heard our first Blackcap of the year singing (135th) and 13 Jays flying SE.

It appears that the last two days of storms has undone most of the recent work done by the Environment Agency to repair the shingle beach between Reculver and Minnis Bay.
