Silence is Med shaped..

A nil day due to other commitments but, following on from yesterday's chat with Tim about recent avian and non-avian events at Brading and discussions on the massive increase of local breeding Med Gulls, today found another late afternoon insect hatch drawing in plenty of Larids including 50 of so Meds (with one or two 2cys). It's always strange, to me at least, to see these ghostly, bright white wraiths too busy and intent on feeding to utter a sound.

Scanning the skies produced a dozen or so Swifts much higher than any gull.

No pictures today so just this from yesterday showing how parched PB is.
