15th October

A little bit of passerine immigration was evident, although, besides 16 Blackcaps dotted around the island, the only notable species was a new juvenile Common Rosefinch at Holland House. A Long-eared Owl and a Short-eared Owl were present and 3 Woodcocks were found. The Great Grey Shrike was seen briefly in the morning, while the Olive-backed Pipit continued to show well at Westness all day.
