Good numbers of Terns feeding off the sea wall at Musselburgh this am. Single Roseate, at least 2 Arctic, plenty of Common & Sandwich. 10+ Little Gulls & at least 2 Arctic Skua's harassing the terns. Stejneger's still distant from 1st bench @birdinglothian

Against all the odds, the female Mute Swan at Musselburgh boating pond (aka Levenhall Links) has one cygnet 🤞 Recently, the male was killed and most of the eggs destroyed 😡
