Crossbill and YL Gull juv (sea eagle news)

Sea watch at SCP yesterday evening: a Manx and (my first/right on cue) juv Yellow-Legged Gull west etc. Swifts moving west/sw. Also two fresh juv Med Gulls cruised by with a few adults. One cetacean, a porpoise. [Four juv Yellow Legged off SCP on 16th.]

This morning: Ventnor Downs, a perched Crossbill singing was relatively unusual; usually just see/hear them as they fly over. Modest vis mig: one sand martin south with a couple of swallows. A few swifts. A couple of painted ls seen last few days. 


YL Gull juv, distant scope shots - had prey in its bill at times (some sort of flatfish/flounder?)
