December 5th
This afternoon we made a brief visit to Minnis Bay where we saw 9 Great Crested Grebes, 1 Shag and 24 Great Black-backed Gulls.
We then drove to Chamber's Wall and walked out to Coldharbour and counted 89 Fieldfares, 1 Common Buzzard, 1 Kestrel, 44 Redwings, 80 Corn Buntings, 45 Chaffinches, 3 Stonechats, 1 Short-eared Owl, 1 Kingfisher, 1 Little Egret, 2 Little Grebes, 1 Redshank, 100 Oystercatchers, 39 Golden Plovers, 2 Curlew, 5 Great Crested Grebes, 1 Cetti's Warblers, 2 Snipe and 1 Water Rail.
Later Matt was still at Chamber's Wall and had 17 Tundra Bean Geese (195th) fly round the Marsh before departing south over Wagtail Farm and back to the Stour Valley.
