I have had a couple of trips through to East Lothian prompted by easterly winds over the last fortnight. Last weeks trip to Thorntonloch & Torness yielded nothing better than a Whitethroat. Today's trip was exclusively to Musselburgh & coincided with a high tide that had pushed lots of waders on to the scrapes.

Ruff - 1 of c10 present |
Other interesting waders included 1 Curlew Sand, 1 Greenshank, Black Tailed Godwit & Bar Tailed Godwit & Snipe.
A Red Necked Grebe was off the sea wall as well as Velvet Scoter, 2 Red Throated Diver & 1 Arctic Skua.
