LBB (July juvs) Med (poss Dotterel August)

Probable, heard calling over Bonchurch Down nr Ventnor. Two separate tracks (WHD & Bonchurch Down) merged for comparison. Sonograms match (bird not seen).
Also today: my first whinchat (Luccombe Down) and yellow wagtail (Bonchurch Down). Painted Lady on the wing at Spring Hill.



Yesterday's (again 'fresh-looking') LBB juvs at Ryde





White 34K6: thanks to Mark and Renaud I've since found out this Med gull was ringed back in 2007 (May 17th) at Noordelijk Insteekdok, Flanders, Belgium; and this was only its fourth ever reported sighting. Seen shortly after at Weymouth on July 17th.
