Weather conditions looked good for a fall of birds on the east coast with south easterlies forecast overnight & for the whole of Sunday. Unfortunately, most of the action seemed to be from St Abbs south & I saw very little. Indeed the wire dump at Barns Ness (Barren's Ness would be more apt was birdless. Torness Power Station late morning was no better with only the odd linnet in the scrub.
Good views of 2 Peregrines at Barns Ness and the beach had some Dunlin, Ringed Plover & Sanderling.
Stopped in at Musselburgh on the way home in the hope of maybe a Little Stint or a Wood Sand. Not to be unfortunately. Still good views of Ruff, Blackwit & Greenshank with a supporting cast of Knot & Dunlin. Lots of Sandwich Tern on the westernmost scrape. Good views of Stock Dove.

My digiscoping camera may also have given up the ghost - seriously overexposing everything.
