We managed a walk between two thunderstorms on a muggy morning at Reculver. We walked along the seawall from Reculver through a swarm of Pollen Beetles and recorded 1 Blackcap, 5 Yellow Wagtails, 1 White Wagtail, 4 Pied Wagtails, 3 Shelduck, 1 Whitethroat, 1 Little Owl, 5 Cormorants, 4 Mallard, 4 Ringed Plovers, 1 female Wheatear, 5 Oystercatchers, 2 Linnets, 2 Little Egrets, 1 Grey Heron and 30 Sand Martins. We also saw 2 Painted Ladies.
