Sedge Warbler: March 2015
http://sedgewarbler.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Bird info - by Stephen Welch. Monday, 30 March 2015. Some better pics of the Fenton Barns hybrid gull, presumed LBB x HG, first seen there last April. On the yellow-legged LWHG in Finland - I think I would've overlooked the majority of the 1st-wins though, given their already huge variability. It then flew north to feed in the valley west of COngalton Gardens. Previous week - this beautiful Jackdaw with "brown" plumage aberration looking bronze, at Niddrie. Sunday, 29 March 2015. Another bird in a garden...

Bird info - by Stephen Welch. Wednesday, 20 July 2016. Garden bird log for Longniddry, Lothian.

The garden is in an estate within 500m of high water - Firth of Forth. Unfortunately there is no view out to the sea, or indeed anywhere beyond the neighbouring houses in the estate.

http://sedgewarbler.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Bird info - by Stephen Welch. Monday, 31 August 2015. NOW UPDATED at end for JUL-AUG]. Just a few images to document the evolution of the Blindwells site, part of my extended local patch for PWC2015.

Now providing a little open water again:. Finally the bottom tank at the west end:. There are also important ...

Sedge Warbler: June 2014
http://sedgewarbler.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Bird info - by Stephen Welch. Sunday, 22 June 2014. WeBS ponds largely deserted on Sunday but old friend the drake Mandarin showed up again at East Fortune ponds a couple of years absence (previous records 18/7/10, 17/7 16/8/11). Wonder where it's been hanging out since? Seems there have been none in Lothian since late 2011 in Edinburgh, possibly same bird, with one in March 2010 at Haddington also possibly same? Not current, but of note, Shag red-TSZ here as a juvenile in 2009. Sunday, 15 June 2014.
