            A rarity and always distant, a young Bonaparte's Gull wandered across from North America and has stayed at Lodmoor RSPB reserve in Weymouth for a week. They normally have black heads in summer but this is only a second year bird.

                        Broad-bodied Chaser.

                        I think that might be the remains of a moth it's snacking on.
