Glossy Ibis

Up to 11 Glossy Ibis have been at Brading Marsh since December ('21) and still continue to enjoy that part of the area; eight or nine seen today just off Laundry Lane; also Marsh Harrier(s) and at least one WT Eagle seen.  

Digiscope into the light - cracking birds; potential new breeding species for the UK?

Friday 25th: Bonchurch Down; 3 x Black Redstart and 3 x Red Kite atop Luccombe Down midday. 

Monday 28th: trip over to the mainland; visited Chichester (Lakeside Park/Trout Lake, off the Chichester Bypass A27) to see the Bonaparte's Gull but no sign for us; two x RC Pochard (pair) in the area, med gull flock, and quite a number of greylags.
