Rare Red-footed Falcon in East Lothian

 I travelled through to Aberlady Bay Local Nature Reserve in East Lothian on Friday 7 August 2026 in search of a reported Red-footed Falcon. After a trip involving two trains, a bus and a 4km walk, I got cracking views of the bird. This was only the second time I'd seen this species Scotland and it was well worth the journey.
