On Friday, I travelled through to Musselburgh Lagoons (Levenhall Links) and had great views of a host of waders - Black-tailed Godwit, Greenshank, Green Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper and Ruff to name just a few. I also had a bit of a surprise with a Little Gull being present ..

At Musselburgh Lagoons I saw 49 different species in just over 3 hours and, over the week, totalled 55 species.
