After a misty start, our day in Tyninghame Bay turned out sunny and warm. The woods were fairly quiet but plenty of birds were along the shore. Waders consisted of Oystercatcher, Redshank and Ringed Plover and five species of gull were present. An amazing 109 Goosanders swam by in a huge flotilla. Gannets and Sandwich Terns fished offshore and Sand Martins and Swallows fed over the beach. Other birds of the shore included Rock Pipit and Pied Wagtail with Razorbill, Shag and Eider on the sea. Birds in the dunes included Linnet, Chaffinch, Woodpigeon, Rook and Jackdaw. Ten Grey Herons were together on the saltmarsh along with around thirty Curlew and a single Little Egret. Butterflies consisted of Meadow Brown, Small Copper, Small Blue, a white and a fritillary species plus Spotted Wood in the woods.
