December 5th
On another unpleasantly windy morning we had a look at Minnis Bay and found 156 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, a flock of 31 Common Scoter sitting on the sea made up of 30 females and 1 blotchy faced immature male, 37 Oystercatchers, 12 Ringed Plovers, 1 Curlew, 47 Great Black-backed Gulls, 1 Gannet and 40 Grey Plovers.
Later at Reculver we saw 2 Goldcrest, 1 Chiffchaff singing, 139 Gadwall, 2 immature Goldeneye, 1 male and 1 female, 5 Tufted Duck, 1 Pochard and 1 Little Grebe.
