Recent stuff:
July 28th: Bonchurch/Luccombe: Willow warbler [30+], Gropper, Wheatear..
July 30th: SCP: morning sea watch with Gary; strong southerly winds (F6): only four manx went by. Given that to the west of us the volume of shearwaters hasn't materialised, it wasn't that surprising. The wader action was more interesting highlighted by four blackwits. Another YL gull noted too. And a constant stream of gannets (300 east) that was still going when we packed up and left.
August 1st: SCP/Knowles Farm: the last date I noted a cuckoo there was July 17th; so I was surprised to see (presumably) the same youngster still lingering: at its usual spot before bombing off towards the slopes. Otherwise: a sedge warbler was near Watershoot Bay; a flyover grey wag; a few WWs; and a garden warbler.
