May 4th
No sign of the hoopoe at Ryde golf course A.M, but Binstead beach had a wheatear, yellow wag north, and 3 sandwich terns east. Stock dove singing too.
Later on at Brading NR (RSPB) had my first lesser whitethroat, few swifts north, swallows and house martins. At least 3 lapwing chicks were easily viewable from laundry lane. Earlier in the year the field where they nested was sealed off with a more secure perimeter fence so as to minimise the possibilities of predation, so good to see the fruits.
