It's a fair bet your identification is correct. Pretty good shot too. Welcome to birding you're in a nice spot there. I've spent many a happy holiday in Ventnor over the years.

Islandergirl has asked the audience. We've had our 50/50. It's definitely one or the other, on the IOW either is possible. Must be time to phone a friend !!

Thanks everyone for your comments. He certainly was an interesting little chap.It was taken on the coastal path between Bonchurch and Ventnor, Nedman so I expect you have walked that path.

Yes I have, many times. You are so lucky to be there. Knowing exactly where the photo was taken I am now favouring Rock Pipit as I'm sure I've seen them there before.

I agree we do live in a great part of the country. If you would like to see more of the Island, our digital imaging club has a web site with lots of our photos on it. If you have time for a look its www.iwdig.org.uk.
