This Ringtail Hen Harrier was a nice surprise during our walk from Pittenweem to Elie.

It has been a few years since I last saw a Pectoral Sandpiper, so I actually enjoyed this fella more than the Marsh Sandpiper. At Musselburgh new lagoons. #BirdingScotland #BirdingLothian

Also at Tyninghame at least 6 Roseate Terns, including this adult and juvenile. #BirdingScotland

American Black Tern at Tyninghame Bay originally found by no other than KG and re-found today after 1-day hiatus (it spent yesterday at Long Nanny) by TO. #BirdingScotland @birdinglothian.bsky.social

I was treated today to my first Scottish Hobby at my old patch of Cramond Island. It was briefly harassed by LBBG before it flew N directly to Fife. I believe it's a subadult based on light-tipped primaries. #BirdingScotland @birdinglothian.bsky.social

@birdinglothian.bsky.social #BirdingScotland Splendid views of Spoonbill at Musselburgh old scrapes today.

Great Northern Diver today at Musselburgh between the old scrapes and Morrison's Haven. @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Great White Egret showed outside the hide at Bavelaw in the afternoon. Also female Scaup there. @birdinglothian.bsky.social

I've got one more. What do you think? @lothianrecorder.bsky.social

Hi Geoff. I've got one or two. What are you looking for on the underwing?

3 out of 5 Twite feeding at sea plantain at Musselburgh today. #BirdingScotland @birdinglothian.bsky.social

I saw this interesting gull in Musselburgh today. I personally think it's LBBG x HG hybrid. Opinions welcome. @birdinglothian.bsky.social #birdingscotland
