December 21st and 22nd

The weather has been unpleasant for the last couple of days with gale force winds and showers so we have spent an hour at Reculver seawatching each morning but seeing very little. Yesterday in the hour we counted 142 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 2 Great Black-backed Gulls, 1 Curlew and 1 Gannet E and today we recorded 158 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 5 Great Black-backed Gulls, 10 Common Gulls W, 13 Ringed Plovers and 100+ Herring Gulls W.
