February 4th

I was out early this morning at Reculver and recorded 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Green Woodpecker, 2 Cetti's Warblers, 68 Coot, 12 Tufted Duck, 46 Mallard, 12 Gadwall, 14 Teal, 1 Shoveler, 1 Pied Wagtail, 1 Wigeon and 1 Common Buzzard.

During the afternoon Justin Sneddon took two photographs of a second winter Kumlien's Iceland Gull flying E at Minnis Bay (118th). This is only the tenth record of Iceland Gull in the area and the first of the subspecies Kumlien's.
