Drake Shoveler on Duddingston is an occasional visitor to the loch.
Life in the upside down Treecreeper, It will be dark soon and mist starting to roll in feeling cooler, too.

Busy at Gullane Point today with lots of feeding birds including a WW Scoter and GN Diver. Light passerine movement too but spent some time watching the coordinated flying of 50 Sanderling in nice light. Elsewhere, my first Osprey this year with its tea. #lothianbirds
