Couldn't find the needle in a haystack that was the Aberlady Lapland Bunting today.
Did have my first Whooper Swan (10) and Golden Plover (500+) of the autumn. As well as 2 Greenshank and a Pale-bellied Brent Goose.

Aberlady Bay (Scotland) was know as Lofda's nose a point of land where Vikings made camp. Medieval Luffness Castle built on this site took its name from Lofda the (allegedly 7 ft) 'Viking' buried under the West end tower of the Castle along with another smaller Viking Warrior.

There appears to be three leucistic individuals with the Barnacles past/in Northumberland yesterday. I think your bird looks different to the Aberlady bird (pictured) from a couple of years ago?

One of two midget submarines, or XT-Craft, whose remains can still be seen at low tide in Aberlady Bay in East Lothian. They were moored here in 1946 and used as training targets by locally-based RAF aircraft. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Lifeboat goes to incident off the coast at Aberlady
The volunteer crew at North Berwick RNLI launched the charity’s D class inshore lifeboat at 8.56am on Sunday. They had received a report of a person in the water from a sinking vessel off Craigielaw point, Aberlady and Kinghorn RNLI’s B class inshore lifeboat was also launched to the incident. The boat headed into a short, sharp 1.5m wind driven swell. North Berwick lifeboat was on scene half an hour after launch finding the casualty vessel partially submerged, but pushed hard aground on rocks by the westerly conditions. Whilst there was a marker buoy nearby, which the crew say could have been mistaken for a person in the water, both lifeboats started a search of the immediate area whilst Coastguard Rescue Teams carried out inquiries ashore.

Not 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
