Pomarine Skua, Keyhaven Lagoon, 6, 1st October, Picked up at ~1740 when scanning the Solent from the seawall alongside Keyhaven Lagoon. All moved together as a group, headed west and passed over Hurst Spit out of view within a couple of minutes. 2 pale morph adults with complete spoons were immediately apparent.
