Flew on to the Island on an early flight from Lands End Airport. A juvenile American Golden Plover and a Buff-breasted Sandpiper had been present on the airfield for some days, fortunately they were still present when I arrived. I had good but quite distant views (for photography).

After the airfield went to Lower Moors where an immature Greenshank was showing well.

As usual in October on Scilly there were still many Speckled Woods flying.

A juvenile Red-backed Shrike was show on and off on The Garrison, but always rather distant for good photos.
