November 13th

With a gale force south westerly wind blowing in showers I imagine all the action will have been along the Channel as it certainly wasn't at Reculver. In just over an hour we only saw 4 Great Crested Grebes, 32 Gannets, 30 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 1 Red-throated Diver and 9 Common Scoter.

On a sunny but blustery afternoon we walked inland at Reculver and counted 15 Stock Doves, 1 Jay, 1 Common Buzzard, 10 Long-tailed Tits, 1 Green Woodpecker, 12 Mallard, 18 Coot, 1 Grey Heron, 5 Mute Swans, 2 Great Crested Grebes, 1 Green Sandpiper, 1 Gadwall, 1 Peregrine and 1 Greylag Goose.
