spoonbill
sandwich tern
And caught up with the Brading White-fronted geese found today - 21 reported this morning; though somewhat difficult to count as they intermittently disappeared into the ditches/channels; I counted at least 19

Ryde East sands
Today at low tide whilst checking through some gulls (with a white winger in mind) - I was slightly taken a back when suddenly a spoonbill was in my line of sight. Records away from Yarmouth, Newtown and Brading marshes are probably pretty scarce. Despite the numerous dog walkers nearby it seemed unperturbed and happily fed with the brent geese and gulls etc. A couple of sarnies present too.
