Bird Id Walk: Coastal Birds And Autumn Migrants, Aberlady Bay

By early August many birds are on the move passing through Scotland or arriving for the coming winter, often in a sometimes confusing range of plumages. Aberlady Bay provides an excellent opportunity to see a good variety of species including waders present on the estuary. This walk, aimed at beginners or improvers, will be a great chance to learn or improve their identification skills in the field with lots of hints and tips provided along the way.
