6th Dec. 2020
A late start this morning at Seasalter, the tide was right out so I was able to pick up couple of wader month ticks, barwit and blackwit. The back track was quiet with just a few blackbirds stripping of the last hawthorn berries and back along the way to the seawall at least four stonechats were performing their chasing about. Climbing up the bund to speak to Geoff who had no luck finding the two snow buntings a great white egret came over our heads from Sheppey and seemed to be going in the Stour valley direction.
I walked up further to the brent flock resting in the field but the whitefronts had split off to another field nearer Castle Coote and I had no sign of the snow buntings either. The mudflats were deserted except far out on the water's edge and is was about low tide so miles away. Took a couple of photos of the stonechats as there was virtually nothing else, a couple of mipits and reed buntings flying about was all to be seen.
Called it a day after that at 11.30, to many people about.
