14 Nov 09 Musselburgh Wader Scrapes

My last (an 1st) Wilson's Phalarope was in Norfolk on 03 July 1983 some 26 years ago !!!

News of one in East Lothian & me with some time on my hands on a rainy Saturday afternoon in November persuaded me to go and have a look at it.

The right hand hide was rather crowded when I arrived and it took some time for me to even see out of the hide never mind see the bird. However, eventually I did, it showed well for several minutes. Attempts at photography however, proved fruitlesss as soon it flew off high to the west with 2 Redshank.

BH Gulls on the scrape were easier to photopgraph than the phalarope:
