Sky high spoonbills

Just after 9:30 two came over Ventnor Downs at extreme height. And both were headed on a southward line and moving at some rate - no doubt aided by the tail winds. [Clear skies/ENE/breezy F4].


Practising digi-scoping with my new scope - bear in mind: v windy and through glass; no adapter used and no post editing. The buddleia attracted three painted lady and a hummingbird hawkmoth.
