Selection from last week

Mix from last week. Very memorable week....


Luccombe down day 1 - honey buzzard, firecrest, and ring ousel the highlights.


St.Catherine's point day 2 - numerous blackcap and dunnock seen.


West high down day 3 - sprawk


juv dotterel - a definite highlight




common blue and comma butterflies


Savoring the view - the needles and Alum bay


Graham on the hunt for a yellow-browed warbler - Headon Warren


Honey buzzard - another shot. To see two in a matter of days was sublime. A migrating marsh harrier was also seen from atop Headon warren.

Small copper - we came upon quite a few of these, west wight.
