Seasalter Black Redstart.

16th December

At SS it was a cold frosty morning, 2 degs but lots of sun and a blue sky. The beach roost was already busy as high tide was around 10.00 am which enabled me to count some of the waders there; 29 grey plovers, 35 redshanks, 82 ringed plovers, 3 sanderling, a few turnstones and c.400 dunlin plus a few curlews and oystercatchers.
On the polts it was quiet with; 1 marsh harrier, 2 stonechats, 7 coots, 6 moorhens, 1 kestrel, 1 green wpker, starlings, blue tit, wood pigeons, magpies and sparrows.
Onto the LNR and by the beach huts a black redstart, 8 goldfinches, 1 mipit, several grey plovers, dunlin, redshanks and turnstones along the beach plus c.500 brents on the back pasture, along the beach.
