Black-necked Grebe

One BNG off Ryde (west sands/Pier) yesterday (Jan 31st). Quite distant. Gary had a RNG off Seaview. The Hooded Crow still lingers (Cowes).

Ventnor, sea watch, Feb 4th: 62 Red-T Divers East was about it; very few auks and gannets, or gulls even. 

SCP, sea watch, Feb 21st; v quiet, 41 Gannets, six Kittiwake etc (onshore winds, rain, mild)...

Far out BNG - Looking towards the mainland, Southampton water

Between the dire weather 

Gulls - disappointing of late. First LBB I've seen for a while with GBB - Sandown (Feb 7th)
Three LBB gulls at Atherfield today - including a 2cy (Feb 10th).
1st winter GBB and LBB (adult LBB just out of shot)









SCP (Scoters, Little Gulls, swallow etc)

SCP March 20th : easterlies (due east, slight se), bright, milder. Sea watch 06:30-10:30 with Steve S & George H: productive session wit...
