May 3rd
On a thoroughly miserable morning Matt arrived at Reculver before us and his highlights were 1 Turtle Dove, 1 Common Tern, 1 Common Sandpiper and 2 Yellow Wagtails.
We then all drove over to Chamber's Wall where we walked up to the Wantsum outflow and counted 7 Whitethroats, 1 Blackcap, 8 Reed Warblers, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Cetti's Warbler, 2 Gadwall, 7 Mallard, 2 Redshank, 8 Yellow Wagtails, 1 Greenshank, 2 Sandwich Terns, 8 Oystercatchers, 4 Linnets, 2 Ringed Plovers, 2 Bar-tailed Godwits, 8 Sedge Warblers, 2 Long-tailed Tits and 1 Garden Warbler.
On the way home we dropped in at Shuart and Reculver. At Shuart we saw 3 Ring-necked Parakeets, 2 Blackcaps, 2 Chiffchaffs and 1 Green Woodpecker and at Reculver we counted 71 nest holes in use at the Sand Martin colony and also saw 3 Swifts flying W in the murk, 1 Common Sandpiper, 1 Common Tern and 6 Shelduck.
