It has been a few years since I last saw a Pectoral Sandpiper, so I actually enjoyed this fella more than the Marsh Sandpiper. At Musselburgh new lagoons. #BirdingScotland #BirdingLothian

What a shot of a House Martin!

Thanks, Jared.

It must be a blip then. My first post about American Black Tern got picked up, but disappeared half an hour later. Any posts I make are about Scottish birding only. If this was to change I would let you know.

Hi Jared. My posts seem to get deleted or they don't appear. I wonder why that is. Do you need to add my account to the feed? If you can do it for me please, anyway.

Also at Tyninghame at least 6 Roseate Terns, including this adult and juvenile. #BirdingScotland

It must have. At least 3 times. It flew out to sea in the afternoon so maybe it will be at Long Nanny again.

American Black Tern at Tyninghame Bay originally found by no other than KG and re-found today after 1-day hiatus (it spent yesterday at Long Nanny) by TO. #BirdingScotland @birdinglothian.bsky.social

I meant coverts, including primary coverts.

I was treated today to my first Scottish Hobby at my old patch of Cramond Island. It was briefly harassed by LBBG before it flew N directly to Fife. I believe it's a subadult based on light-tipped primaries. #BirdingScotland @birdinglothian.bsky.social

@birdinglothian.bsky.social #BirdingScotland Splendid views of Spoonbill at Musselburgh old scrapes today.

Great find, Jarrod.
