St. Boniface

100's of woodpigs on the move over Ventnor Downs today (28th): ended up with c1800 east (NE) over Bonchurch Down; a reasonable island count of late.
On the 26th: a sooty shearwater went by west during a morning sea watch from La Falaise (strong southerlies); however, fellow local birder Nick - watching from a bit further east of me - had a swift sp. in off that was likely a 'Pallid' that went off east (NE).


30th: this snow bunting has been on Bembridge Down for a few days now.
