A big thank you to the Marsh Sandpiper for hanging around Musselburgh for so long and allowing me to see it yesterday. It even made friends with the Spotted Redshank for a while. Nice to see lots of nice birders too.

Great day at Long Nanny ternery in Northumberland. American Black Tern and Little Tern the stars. The failure of
@eastlothiancouncil.bsky.social
and others to protect nesting and wintering shorebirds from disturbance along the East Lothian coast all the more disgraceful. Check the map out.
