Some great birds in Lothian this year but unfortunately they seemed to elude me. The biggest annoyance was missing out on the Black-browed Albatross that made its way up from Yorkshire in thick fog and hugged the coastline all the way up to Seacliff beach in North Berwick. Other notable birds for the year and again i never had the time to get down for it, the long awaited Little Bunting at Skateraw as it had been a long time since the last one. My only personal Lothian tick this year was the Short-toed Lark at Tyninghame which hung around for a while. To be continued.......
