It remains very quiet and our walks at Shuart, Chamber's Wall, Coldharbour and Reculver this morning did not produce very much. Highlight was hearing 4 Turtle Doves "purring" at different sites across the Marsh. Other birds seen included 15 Whitethroats, 4 Mallard, 1 Marsh Harrier, 1 Shelduck, 2 Linnets, 1 Redshank, 1 Little Egret, 3 Oystercatchers, 1 Eider, 2 Ringed Plover, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Blackcap, 1 Yellow Wagtail, 1 Cetti's Warbler and 1 Swift W.
