A *Buff-breasted Sandpiper* seen on the cliff top southwest of the lighthouse until 09:45 when it flew south - see Tony's report below
Ness area, Isle of Lewis
News from Tony Marr
Back in the saddle again for the autumn, I encountered this lovely *Buff-breasted Sandpiper* this morning on my daily walk along the clifftops. It was at the south-western point, only a few yards from the edge of the cliff, where no doubt it had arrived overnight in the prevailing F4 northerly wind. After only 15 minutes (0930-0945) it flew up and headed off S towards Eoropie beach, half a mile away, and sadly I did not see it again.
