Today started early with the three-leg bus journey that was required to get me to Kinneil Lagoons for 08:30. There then followed a very enjoyable day spent exploring both that site and Skinflats (Bothkennar Pools). Some of the birding highlights of the day included sightings of Peregrine, Kestrel, Sparrowhawk and Buzzard, a good range of waders, a similarly good range of waterbirds and up to three distant skuas. Mammals consisted of four Roe Deer and an unidentified seal. Also notable were several Rosa bushes affected by the Bedaguar Gall wasp, included one plant with at least fifteen separate galls.
