This morning I'm reminded how lucky I am to have a great patch, with a flat looking onto Fisherrow & Firth of Forth. Highlights from the window this year include drake Surf Scoter yday, Red-necked Grebe, GN Diver, and a big count of 18 Scaup (12d, 6f) last week Birding Lothian
2 Waxwing were an unseasonal find this morning on the Musselburgh patch, by the Loretto playing fields, as was a Black-throated Diver at the seawall yday. Seasonal highlights include Yellow Wagtail, Grasshopper Warbler & my first Swifts this year Birding Lothian 📸 Ian Andrews

Probable juvenile Montagu's Harrier west 12:20 from Musselburgh seawall; lost towards Leith. Difficult to fully clinch it at distance but main features pointed to Monty's. Capping off a decent month's patching; other highlights Stejneger's Scoter & Curlew Sand Birding Lothian
Juv dark morph Pom Skua off Musselburgh seawall early afternoon, harrying gulls then heading east. Eventful start to the month here with up to 4 Little Stint, 4 Curlew Sand, Red-necked & Slav Grebe, + 17 Pale-bellied Brent at Esk Mouth yday (here's some of them) Birding Lothian
Yellow-browed Warbler at the wire dump, and another alongside a Pied Fly in the old campsite wood at Barns Ness this afternoon. A productive seawatch at Seacliff yesterday with 3 Sooty Shearwater the highlight, plus several Manxies and Arctic Skua moving through Birding Lothian
Arrivals coinciding nicely with my new camera setup. 350+ Barnacle Geese through on Tuesday at Musselburgh, with some colour-ringed birds on the scrapes. 4 Sooty Shear, 42 Manx, 8 Arctic Tern & 5 Arctic Skua also that day; and a Short-eared Owl at Aberlady on Sat Birding Lothian
