Reculver in a howling gale - my first Stonechat there!


Very difficult to see anything in the high winds and driving spray off the sea.

One Kestrel hunting along the beach, half a dozen Turnstone off the waters edge, one Stonechat on the sea wall, half a dozen Redshank on the Oyster Farm pools and ditches, about a hundred Dark-bellied Brent Geese overhead, landing on the field just to the west of the Coldharbour Lagoon. Many Herring and Black-headed Gulls, several Common Gulls, Larus canus, one Great Black-backed Gull, four Shelduck on the sea.
