Freezing sea watch from the beach at the Botton of Dengemarsh Gully this morning
The track down to DMG is now worse than I have ever seen it, so if you have a low slung vehicle avoid it.

A flock of c40 Linnets were flitting around the DMG, along with a calling unseen Cetti's Warbler a pair of Stonechats, a few Robins, Dunnocks, Wrens, Great Tits and a local Raven flew over.
A long walk around the Galloway's and Brett's this afternoon was pleasant but few birds were seen. A couple of Marsh Harriers moving between Lydd Fields and the ranges, a Great White Egret sheltering from the wind at Brett's and c100 Russian White-fronted Geese still in the fields, with Greylags, Canada's and Egyptians.
