Barred Warbler secured but no Yank Ducks

With the winds in the east I thought it would be worth doing a day out in East Lothian. First stop was the Musselburgh wader scrapes which were quiet apart from a single Black Tailed Godwit.

Quickly onwards to Barns Ness where it was quickly obvious that there had been a fall with several Whitethroat and a Garden Warbler seen in quick succession. After a bit of searching I had a reasonable view of a Barred Warbler.

There's a Barred in there somewhere

I spent about 50 mins doing a seawatch but there was nothing other than Gannets & Fulmars going past.

Despite searching I could not locate the eclipse drake Ring Necked Duck in Dunbar quarry.

Came home via the Pec Sand at Frankfield Loch where there was also 3 Dunlin, 2 Ringed Plover, Snipe and 1 Ruff. Could not locate the eclipse drake Blue Winged Teal.
