5th October

Despite reportedly looking rather bedraggled in yesterday's wet weather, the BUFF-BELLIED PIPIT was still present for its third day around Nevan. A yellow-browed warbler was seen at Sandback, single redwing at Hooking and Quoy Banks and in Holland were a chiffchaff and a goldcrest. 4 ruff were by the Mill, a grey plover was on the Links and the hen harrier was around Loch Park in the morning. A minimum of 31 snow bunting were seen and a flock of 14 barnacle geese flew through.
