Pom day...

.. well not for me but it looked like a day when there should be and so it was with LF tweeting four at teatime in the Solent.My thirty seconds of seawatch midmorning produced a handful each of Sandwich and Common Terns and that was enough for me. Looking on GB later at home, little from Stokes Bay during the early morning but a few Poms at Selsey here and Splash Point.
(Some nice Pom passage in 2015 on the Hebrides here .

Main activity today was Broad-bodied Chasers and Hairy Dragonflies plus a couple of NfY hovers, Parhelophilus spp and Xylota segnis plus a photogenic Tropidia scita. Lots of Andrena and Nomada spp activity behind reception and east side entry.

This Dunlin was amongst the Turnstones but neither as close, well sat up nor summer-plumaged as last week's individual whose photos I deleted!! South scrape held two Ruff, a summer plumaged Bar'wit, sadly too far away as it looked a cracker through the scope, the Little Gull and a distant Hobby mixing it up with numerous high-level Swifts (say 100+ for the day).

Bryn and Jan  (again) put me onto Christine who kindly pointed out a Hairy Dragonfly perched low to the ground out of the stiff breeze before Darter's Dip and provided a number of photos including this one here.

Oh, and some Ragged Robin out today.
