An inspirational afternoon trip out to Reculver by the Wantsum Channel, on a cold but beautifully sunny day.
About half a dozen Turnstones, a dozen Redshanks, and a score of dark-bellied Brent Geese, Branta bernicla bernicla, over. Several Reed Buntings, one Little Grebe, a dozen Black Headed Gulls with at least one Common Gull, Larus canus. A score of Linnets (one might have had a white flash on its wings), half a dozen Cormorants, one Great Crested Grebe, four Shelduck, one Great Black-backed Gull, half a dozen Herring Gulls.
This is the view across the reclaimed marshland of the Wantsum Channel towards the railway line, and the glasshouses. One of the birders said that he saw a Marsh Marrier in the distance there:
Monty picked up a fish on the path back, and made fairly short work of it, including the head and tail. No ill effects so far.
