	A juvenile Least Sandpiper on the Hayle Estuary RSPB, Cornwall was the star find during another busy autumn day. In Buckinghamshire a remarkable report came in the form of a male Lesser Kestrel over farmland north of Little Marlow for forty five minutes early afternoon. Other new rarities included a Blyth's Reed Warbler at Skateraw, Lothian, Greenish Warbler on Noss, Shetland and American Golden Plover at Tacumshin, County Wexford. In Cornwall the Wilson's Phalarope was relocated at Stithians Reservoir and in Aberdeenshire the Lesser Yellowlegs moved to Meikle Loch. In County Wexford, Tacumshin continued to host a mouth watering list of rarities; as well as the American Golden Plover, White-rumped, Baird's, Buff-breasted and Pectoral Sandpipers and a Citrine Wagtail were on offer. On Shetland Pechora Pipit, Black-headed Bunting, Citrine Wagtail and Red-rumped Swallow were distributed across the archipelago and in Angus the Blyth's Reed Warbler continued to show on and off in Auchmithie.
