Edinburgh and Cramond

A little donder around Edinburgh in fine weather produced a nice selection of common birds including a couple of Bullfinches and three Buzzards but no Dipper along the Water of Leith.

So Ingrid and I drove to Cramond where a walk along the river produced fantastic views of two pairs of Dippers, three Goosanders (including two adult drakes taking bread from others) and five Grey Wagtails. The beach had a mix of Dunlin, Redshank, Curlew and Oystercatcher. A Treecreeper and a Grey Heron were also noted.
