Scarce chaser

Second half of June: fairly quiet since the Greenish. Weather has been nice. Warmer temps. 

A Scarce chaser along Gander Down this morning (managed to get a phone pic). Pleasant walk from Yar bridge to Brading Marsh: Sedge and reed warblers, Lesser throat, Skylarks etc in song. One WT Eagle seen in its usual preferred spot/tree.
