Last couple of days had high-ish hopes of maybe finding something in the realms of an overshoot as the winds did a switcharoo from west to east (NE to be more precise), but visits to both St Caths and Brading NR didn't produce anything extraordinary. Judging by the lack of txts from the local birding network, albeit a small network compared to the mainland, I'm not alone in not finding something.

Birdwise, off the top of my head, at Brading, 1 marsh harrier (yesterday) and 1 hobby (today) were highlights, cuckoo heard round there too.

Quite a few painted ladys about. Today I walked from Laundry lane to Bembridge airfield and back again.
