Bank holiday

Only a fleeting visit by the brother, but we packed in as much as we could - mostly SCP & Brading etc.
Highlights at SCP included two poms (light and dark), a black tern, a few little gulls etc.
Brading: yellow wags, bittern, hobbies, swifts etc.


Two lots of young seen. Eight in total. 



An early juv stonechat. Plus an adult nearby had nesting material too.

Landed and rested for a while
