November 27th

After a morning of heavy rain the wind increased to a strong north-westerly at midday and the rain stopped. Matt spent two hours at Reculver from 1230 and we joined him for some of the time but it was very slow. All he recorded were 14 Red-throated Divers, 1 Wigeon W, 3 Great Crested Grebes, 9 Gannets W, 1 Golden Plover W, 2 Pintail W, 2 Common Scoter W, 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull and 2 Shelduck.
