Nature’s larder is full of rich autumnal colours just now from the rose hips to seabuckthorn, apples and Salicornia (more edible when younger tender shoots). All dotted around the #BelhavenBay shoreline.

Oystercatchers resting on the sandbars as the tide flowed in at #BelhavenBay #EastLothian. Numbers build through autumn as wintering birds join those resident here year-round, with some maybe travelling from as far afield as Iceland, Norway and the Faroes.

Most of the waders were well out in the bay during my walk, but this Curlew was feeding a little closer in, giving me the chance to catch it with a worm in its beak.

Definite autumnal feel down at #BelhavenBay as golden hour approached. Three #littleegrets were out in the bay - too far away for me to really capture, but nice to watch & experience.

- it’s the turn of the #CanadaGeese at #BelhavenBay. The earliest documented #EastLothian record is 18/08/1968, when a migratory flock of 27 birds was observed at Tynninghame Bay. These are now summer residents.

#lapwings #peewits feeding or resting on the saltmarsh at #BelhavenBay #EastLothian Sadly they are #redlisted, under the BOU’s Birds of Conservation Concern, due to their falling numbers. The changes are linked to habitat loss or changes in quality and changes in farming practices.

#Curlew feeding in the mud at #BelhavenBay. You can see the nictitating membrane — a thin, translucent third eyelid that moves sideways across the eye - as it probes its beak (and almost its full head) into the mud for food. Mainly lugworms this time, but the occasional wee fish too.

The Hedderwick plantation at #BelhavenBay #EastLothian was largely flattened by #StormArwen in November 2021. The restructuring continues today - creating a much more open landscape ahead of replanting at some point - hopefully with an appropriate #nativetree mix.

An unsually high number (9) of adult mute swans at on Seafield Pond, #BelhavenBay yesterday. The resident cob was trying to maintain his territory - puffing up his wings as he chased down on the incomers.
