More Musselburgh Magic

Whilst it never fails to amaze me the range of different species to be found in Glasgow, I have to admit that from now until November I shall be paying frequent visits to the east coast of Scotland. Yesterday it was back through to Musselburgh and my first Little Gull and Garganey of the year.

After yesterday's sightings my year list for Musselburgh stands at 85 species. No doubt I'll be back again later this week!
