18th September

The first Curlew Sandpiper of the autumn was among a small number of new birds on another breezy day. Other waders included both American Golden Plovers, a Little Stint and a Jack Snipe. A Barred Warbler at Westness was probably a fresh migrant, while a Tree Pipit was the first of its kind for a few weeks. A North-Western Redpoll and 20 Lapland Buntings were also seen.
