January 9th

Although Storm Goretti let Reculver off relatively lightly it was still very wet with a gale force NW wind blowing. Matt spent from 0800 to 1030 at Reculver and counted 12 Teal W, 29 Dark-bellied Brent Geese E, 1 Great Northern Diver W (105th), 2 Kittiwakes W (106th), 650 Herring Gulls W, 55 Common Gulls W, 3 Lesser Black-backed Gulls W and 6 Great Black-backed Gulls W.

I spent forty minutes at Reculver this afternoon where the only birds I saw other than Herring, Common and Black-headed Gulls were 2 male Pintail flying W (107th).
