Had a lovely walk down to Reculver Marshes this afternoon - slow and concentrating on bird ID. over the railway line a kindly birder walked me back to where the Wreyneck was - its so easy when someone points a bird out to you!
The Wryneck is a really weird looking bird. Its colouration is all odd - the spots and streaks remind me of dazzle camouflage from WW I.
House Sparrows. Pied Wagtail. 10+ Swallows flying out to sea and along the coast. Also 14 Turnstone, some in breeding plumage, 7 Cormorants, Herring Gulls, 1 Black-headed Gull, 5 Oystercatchers. 7 Sedge Warblers, 2 or more Reed Warblers, 3+ Whitethroats, 5 Blackbirds, 3 Robins. 1 Little Egret, 2 Redshanks, 17 Mute Swan. most in one group.
