Aug - YL Gull

Fairly quiet of late save a few more Tree pipits (three/south) over Bonchurch Down on the 4th. One Jersey Tiger on the buddleia and another on the wing. And the warm sunny weather is set to continue (25 - 27°).
A brief Yellow-legged Gull (1cy) at Sandown Beach flew South west and inland (and one on 11/08 on the groyne, Sandown). 
Blast from the past found on an old hard drive: Ring-billed Gull, Hants, Gosport (c2013?):
About time there was another island one - but as records nationally have dropped off in recent times, they are harder to come by.
