HB Ventnor Downs

September 6th:

Ventnor Downs highlight was a Honey Buzzard south over Luccombe Down and Bonchurch Down past the radar station at 11:45am; seen with Neil & Perry, from the 'raptor mound'. Also southbound Marsh Harriers (x3) including one male as well as at least 10 Tree Pipits etc. Nick had a Wryneck near Coombe Bottom too later in the day. [Light ESE winds, bright & sunny, 18c].
