Visit To Musselburgh Links : 17 Jul 2011
On the last day of our visit to Musselburgh we decided to try a site that we had tried to get at before but which was then fenced off. I discovered a map of this site in “Where to Watch Birds in Britain” (entry no 364) so we decided to try again and this time we came to it from the far end. Previously we had tried to get there from the Goose Green end at the mouth of the River Esk. This time we tried from the far end near the roundabout at the end of the horse racing track. We started off rather late in the day and looked at two of the three hides that face onto the scrapes. At one there was a Black-tailed Godwit and a Grey Heron and a few Black-headed Gulls but at the next hide we had more luck.
