I was told today that birders on a boat-trip around Ramsey on Sunday had sightings of both Osprey and Honey Buzzard. Good views I'm told by Anna Mullarkey (one of the trip participants but not a birder). Does anyone else have supporting confirmation of these birds?

Re: Richard's request for Dotterel sites, there was a small run of sightings a few years back of one or more individuals turning up on Castlemartin peninsula in autumn and also in spring.
Other northern (upland) waders such as Golden plover, Dunlin and Grey Plover often touch down briefly along the Castlemartin peninsula/Stackpole cliff-tops on late spring passage - usually at least one of these three seen each May/June so it is always possible that Dotterel could be amongst them too occasionally I guess.
The image was of an August 2004 one on Castlemartin Range east coast; one of several images taken by Stephen Coker.
