A short belated photo highlights post from my second autumn visit to St Martin's where I spent 23rd - 30th October looking for rarities. It was a quiet week with a Richard's Pipit being my best find. However, as always it was great to be back on my favourite island looking for rare and scarce birds and anticipating what might be lurking in the next bit of habitat!
