There were a number of Dark-bellied Brent Geese, Branta bernicla bernicla, perhaps several hundred, off the South Swale NNR, some quite close in. It was marvellous to see the details of their plumage, note a number of juveniles in amongst the adults, and hear their low grunting calls. Mixed with them were good numbers of Wigeon.
Also two Turnstone and a Grey Plover. Black-headed Gulls, Herring Gulls out on the Swale, with many groups flighting in to join them. Oystercatchers huddled on the spit at Castle Coote.
