Yet Another American Wader !

Monday 11 th October was similar weather wise to the previous day.

The Western Black Eared Wheatear remained on the Garrison.

On the Western side of the Garrison I happened upon a partial albino Blackbird that I first saw flying and which certainly gave me a start.

Partial albino Blackbird !!!!!!!!!!!!! 




















2 Snow Buntings were on Peninnis Head:

2 Jack Snipe again gave good views at Lower Moors and the 2 Little Buntings continued to show well at Carn Friars together with a Yellow Wagtail. A Sparrowhawk was also at Carn Friars.

A Pec Sand was on the beach at Porthellick although it always remained distant.

Northern Wheaters continued to be commonly seen including this obliging individual on Porthellick Beach:
