Bird Id Walk: Autumn Wader Identification, Kinneil Lagoons

By late July many waders are on the move passing through Scotland or arriving for the coming winter, often in a sometimes confusing range of plumages. The lagoons at Kinneil provides an excellent opportunity to see a good variety of waders and get to grips with godwits and other species 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.
