Bedraggled Merlin at Skateraw today, significant passage of Little Gulls past Torness (thanks to JH) @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Lot of gulls feeding at Whitesands/Barns Ness high tide including good shout for 1st W Caspian (large male) @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Failed to see the RBF at Barns Ness tho' the LWFG was great - and a consolation prize, a hawkmoth on pine at Barns Ness, appears to be a sp. I'd never heard of, the aptly named Pine Hawkmoth, English but moving N, I think?? @edinburghnats.bsky.social @edinburghnature.bsky.social

Couple of smart Ruddy Shelducks at Aberlady a small consolation for missing the LWFG, also Spotshank still, made resolution no.387 never to twitch again @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Very high tide yesterday at Barns Ness, couple of nice waders @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Best day than I've had for a long time, Cory's N then S in the morning at Barns Ness, White-rumped Sandpiper at Thortonloch early afternoon, not sure that it's the same bird as Kevin's which I didn't really see - last pic shows long wings for its long migration @birdinglothian.bsky.social

ABT showed well @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Summer plumage Red-necked Grebe off Seton Sands (by what I think is car park 1) yesterday, a very dark and windy day @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Heavily cropped Temminck's Stint, Levenhall old lagoons, at least you can see what it is @birdinglothian.bsky.social

KG's smart Kentish Plover JMCP this pm @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Two Otters 200yds offshore at Thortonloch this am, I think there was a shoal of Grey Mullet, gulls terrified of the otters @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Hybrid LBBGxHG probable (thanks to SW for advice) yesterday at Cramond, I go down today and an adult female hybrid mating with a full LBBG! Really not fair on the humble twitcher @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Yesterday Barns Ness area: 2 male 1 female Yellow Wags; my first Common Whitethroat; very obliging Gropper @birdinglothian.bsky.social
