A few more miscellaneous photos from our trip down south at the end of April, Isle of Wight then a stop in West Sussex where my wife's dad and step mum live right next door to Medmerry Reserve.

My first Yellow Wagtail of the year at Brading Marshes on the Isle of Wight

Med Gulls are stunners. There is a spring and autumn passage through the Isle of Wight where flocks can get into the hundreds.

Good showing of Early Purple Orchids on Tennyson Down, Isle of Wight.

View from Tennyson Down towards West High Down/Needles Headland with Headon Warren to the right; excellent area for spring and autumn migration.
