December 12th

After yesterday's freezing fog and ice and the overnight snow we didn't get out until after lunch and visited Reculver. When we arrived at Towers there was a distant group of birds sitting on the sea and with my telescope I was able to identify 32 Great Crested Grebes, 9 Common Scoter and male Scaup. Around the Towers we also found 2 Stonechats, 1 adult male Black Redstart and 1 Redshank on the grass.
