Since I've been in the Isle of Wight, there's been an influx of less common migrants. Of particular note are the numbers of stone curlew turning up in the south west, including a flock of 6 in Dorset near Moonfleet and another two at West Bexington. Both Dave H. and Andy G. caught with these flocks respectively and a visit to Raddipole resulted in Andy picking up the garganey there too:

Meanwhile, Dave Helliar got to grips with more Dorset goodies...
