There was an unexpected visitor camping out in our front doorway last night sheltering from the heavy rain. It is definitely a racing or homing pigeon going by the rings on it's legs and it appeared to be a little distressed when it first appeared. I fed it on some wild bird food but it ignored the bread which I also put out. I attempted to catch it this morning to get the full registration number in order that I could report it as a stray. However it flew off but it has reappeared again this evening. Let's see if it is still here tomorrow.
We had a good day out this week at the Seabird Centre, North Berwick. As there were no boats operating to the Bass Rock we finished up visiting Dunbar Harbour to see Kittiwakes nesting followed by Musselburgh lagoons where there were a large number of birds including Curlews, Cormorants, Eiders and Oyster Catchers. We also caught sight of a Godwit and a Whimbrel.
