ROLLER - Brading Marsh RSPB

A Roller was found at Brading Marsh RSPB reserve yesterday late afternoon/evening (by PW); a local twitch had to be done - fortunately it was still there early this morning. Feeding from the wires just to the north of the old sea wall (stayed around till July 11th at least). Brading M delivers yet again. Supporting cast of Hobby, marsh harrier (juv), and WTE etc. 

Otherwise fairly quiet: Crossbills (singles and twos) have been relatively regular over Ventnor. Signs of autumn.....

Couple of record shots (somewhat murky morning - looked better in real life!)
