November 23rd

At the beginning of what has been forecast to be a stormy weekend we spent an hour at Reculver before the rain and gale arrived. Southerly gales at this time of year are not very productive for Reculver and we only recorded 192 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 3 Little Egrets, 1 Marsh Harrier flying W at sea, 4 Gannets, 2 Great Crested Grebes and 2 Pied Wagtails in the car park.
