@markdarling1.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.socialGreat White Egret & Little Egret at Blackness today. Both birds were on the Lothian side before flying up the Forth. Also 4 Pale-bellied Brent Geese & good numbers of Black-tailed Godwits. #birdinglothian #birdingscotland @upperforthbirds.bsky.social
@itssjoenichols.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.socialA titanic flock of 23 Crane south over Skateraw this eve, including 4 juveniles. Tracked along the east coast from Angus to Lothian this afternoon.
2 YBW at Seacliff on Weds, and 2 juv Sabine's Gull each at North Berwick & Musselburgh in late September #birdinglothian @birdinglothian.bsky.social
@alanbrown71.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.socialCouple of heavily cropped record pics of the Glossy Ibis taken at Aberlady at first light this morning @birdinglothian.bsky.social
@annesinc.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.socialGlossy Ibis back on salt marsh at Aberlady LNR early this morning - flew up river and disappeared around 7.30am. My attempt at a photo @birdinglothian.bsky.social #birdinglothian
@kgbirder.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.socialNot the best of pics in the half-light early this morning but this Glossy Ibis at Aberlady is just my third in Lothian and is a first for the reserve. The way things are going I can’t imagine it will be long before both counts increase. @birdinglothian.bsky.social

@normmill.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.social29 Sept. A despondent tramp around Torness in F6 south-easterlies resulted in 2 Blue Tit & 2 Skylark! Called into Skateraw not expecting anything but then a smart RF Bluetail popped up unto a branch and sat looking at me from 5 metres. Magic! @birdinglothian.bsky.social #BirdingLothian

@ijandrews.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.social23 Sep. Musselburgh. Highlight was a Green Sandpiper on the new lagoons; also 7 Shoveler there. Flock of 11 Red-throated Divers flew W. Also tantalising view of a probable juv Long-tailed Skua that decided to return east before it reached me #BirdingLothian
@jamesellison1955.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.socialFinally some action at Barns Ness yesterday with Kits feeding close inshore (and a lot more at Torness later), very nice to see Balearic Shearwater, and a couple of Manxies in the afternoon for comparison, no Sabine's in that lot but one's bound to turn up surely @birdinglothian.bsky.social
@ijandrews.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.social22 Sep. Musselburgh. Finally caught up with a Great White Egret on the site thanks to @kingleby1.bsky.social but it wasn't settled & flew off after less than 5 mins. Also 3 Red-necked Grebes, 2 Slavonian Grebes, 1 Pale-b Brent Goose and 2 very distant Marsh Harriers flew up the Forth #BirdingLothian
@kingleby1.bsky.socialReposted by @birdinglothian.bsky.socialLucky to have this Great White Egret drop in at Musselburgh this morning. @birdinglothian.bsky.social
