Spent a blustery afternoon in Edinburgh, including an enjoyable walk around a busy King's Park. Birding highlights included dozens of House Martins hawking over the south end of Hunter's Bog and 2 Fulmars on the cliffs at Holyrood.
Species added to the weekend birdlist were Greylag Goose, Coot, Fulmar, Feral Pigeon and Jackdaw, making a grand total of 56 (but missing lots of common birds including Blue Tit, Long tailed Tit, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Buzzard, Cormorant, Grey Wagtail, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Meadow Pipit, Skylark and Robin (!), and regular species such as Sand Martin, Great spotted Woodpecker, Treecreeper, Yellowhammer, Kingfisher and Kestrel). With some more time and a little more effort, 75 would have been quite achievable.
