PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVER

A Pacific Golden Plover was found on October 13th at Western Yar near Yarmouth and yesterday (15th) I caught up with it. A great rarity find by Michael Caponi (a series of his photos on GoingBirding Isle of Wight). It showed well for us (myself, Neil, Andy etc) from 10:30 am onwards - hanging with European GPs. Another (likely) first for the Island and a quality find following the recent Franklin's Gull. An Island 'tick' for me....

Through the scope - the PGP seemed quite relaxed with Golden Plovers
