2nd November
A nice still morning at Seasalter, ideal for a good bird list but it proved quiet although not bad for photography. I counted 14 ringed plovers, c.20 turnstones, c.350 brent, 31 dunlin, 1 cetti's on the plots, no ducks. The usual half a dozen pied wagtails ranging along the seawall, 2 stonechats by the Sportsman, 1 sparrowhawk, green woodpecker, robins, coots etc.. On the LNR or rather the back fields (solar farm site), a few lapwings and golden plovers, 1 heron on the pasture plus a red admiral and kestrel.
Nov. 3rd.
A short visit to Hampton, not seeing the purple sandpiper so didn't stay long.
Just one redshank at Hampton

An uneventful trip to Stodmarsh
6th Nov.
Off to Reculver in search of the snow buntings but no luck.........needed to walk on further.
Back to Hampton again this time finding the purple sandpiper on on of the breakwaters but little else.
Day out with the wife driving towards Thanet, lunch at the Capt. Digby then onto Broadstairs.

9th Nov.
Another visit to Reculver, this time finding the 2 snow buntings and had a nice time taking photos with no one else around.
On the way back I could hear a Apache helicopter approaching which made a low fly pass overhead scattering the snow buntings and everything else. Bumped into John from Stodmarsh who said he saw it fly under some pylons!
