A very chilly but bright frosty morning at the ARC found 5 Whooper Swans viewed from Hanson Hide, also 4 Goldeneye. Around the Willow trail 4 Chiffchaffs, in mixed Tit flock along with 2 Goldcrests.

Goldcrests

Another visit late morning to Camber to see the 1w male Scaup, which often associates with a couple of Tufted Ducks.

A couple of 100 Curlews were roosting at Camber but frequently flushed by Marsh Harriers

On Walland Marsh the 59 Bewick Swans were joined by a Black Swan

A few Redwings and Fieldfare were found around the marsh but little else

Common Buzzard in flooded field at Dengemarsh, not much else due to the constant booming of the local guardian of the countrysides gas gun.
