Sun 30th Oct 22

A very wet start to the day, a stop at the layby showed just 5 Brent in with 154 Greylag on the arable, but as it was still raining Richard and I had an hour seawatch from the shelter, later joined by a very wet PL.

Not a lot on the move, 11 Brent, 4 Common Scoter, 2 Grey Plover, 6 Knot, 1 Gannet, 8 Lapwing all south, plus quite a lot of waders a bit further out with no positive ID's PL/RJ/MR

Reports from today:

Paul Brayshaw

07:27 Fem/imm Black Redstart on seawall between raised tee and whalings beach huts (in haven boundary).

08:07 Dartford Warbler with 2 Stonechat (and a very annoyed wren) from northern pill box (footpath across gc meets seawall). Calling occasionally but challenging to see in the wind.

Matt Lonsdale

Late afternoon wander along seawall produced 2 Purp Sands, 3 Rock Pipit, Med Gull, a Common Scoter S along with steady passage of Brents and a group of Chaffinch in/off. No sign of Dartford but very windy.
