January 15th

I spent forty minutes at Reculver this morning in the pouring rain and counted 468 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 1 immature Great Northern Diver feeding on crabs close in at the Towers, 3 Great Crested Grebes, 1 adult Gannet E, 1 Great Black-backed Gull and 6 Cormorants.

Later Matt had a seawatch at Minnis Bay where he counted 25 Great Crested Grebes, 12 Red-throated Divers, 5 Shelduck W and 7 Common Scoter, 3W and 4E (108th).
