Thanks Phil. I thought the heat haze was going to put an end to them but they turned out okay after some editing.

American Black Tern from yesterday am (31st July) at JMCP. Flew out to sea at 7am after 2 Arctic Skuas chased everything off Spike Island and never returned till 09:30 @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Thats a belter that mate. You haven't half had some amazing birds this spring 👌

The "out the bag job" that you needed a special invite for 🙄

When there was an Eyebrowed Thrush on the loose, you should hang your head in shame 🤣

Dotterel still at the summit of Carnethy Hill earlier this morning (20th May) despite first being reported on the 13th @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Were you working on Unst today? I'm night shift tonight and tomorrow so no chance of it hanging on till Wednesday 🙄

Well done mate, some bird 👌

Smart looking bird that mate 👌

Cheers Dougie 👍 Bit of a mad day but well worth it 👌

Thanks John. Just a pity we didn't hear from you sooner. Time was definitely against us by the time you called 😒

Bit of a mad day yesterday, walked out of a hospital appointment in Edinburgh, seen the news and was north bound, heading for the Butt of Lewis for this Solitary Sandpiper. Arrived in the nick in time as it fed in a ditch, right in front of us @birdguides.bsky.social

There hasn't been many reported this winter, Steve.

My first Snow Bunting at Musselburgh for a few years, this one seemed very tame all by itself around lunchtime, along the sea wall to the west of the old scrapes @birdinglothian.bsky.social

First day out in 3 months after my surgery and couldn't think of a better way to spend it. Booted Eagle and Least Sand 🍻

Fingers crossed for a view like that mate. Could be doing with the Booted making an appearance as well 😬

Good luck Mike 👍

Re-edited some shots from my trip to Israel in 2019 with Phil Jones & Andy Stirrat, quite happy with the results. Black Bush Robin was the most sought after + Blackstart and Ruppell's Warbler.

Seeing as Little Bunt has been quoted, I'll go for Chestnut-eared Bunting.

Continuing on from editing some past images, Siberian Accentor on Holy Island during the mad 2016 influx. Spanish Sparrow at Calshot, Hampshire in 2012. Pallas's Warbler at Torness, Lothian in 2016 and this cracking Spotted Crake at Doonfoot, Ayrshire in 2020.

Edit - Myrtle Warbler 2024, not 2023.

Currently laid up after surgery a few weeks ago so not much else to do other than re visit some previous images and re-edit them. Magnolia Warbler at St Govan's Head, Pembs - Sept 2023, Myrtle Warbler at Kilwinning, Ayrshire - April 2023 and American Robin at Eastbourne, Sussex -2022
