Birds on the move

Information

August will see many bird species on the move, passing through Scotland or arriving to spend the autumn and winter months. On the walk we will be looking out for a range of species including wading birds, wildfowl and smaller birds present in and around Aberlady Bay and the surrounding area.

The walk will be around 5 miles in length, on good but occasionally uneven footpaths and at a gentle slow pace, with plenty of opportunities to stop and observe the birdlife.

More information
Bring your own binoculars if you have a pair but there will be binoculars available to borrow on the day.

Good footpaths but occasionally uneven and rough. Boots are recommended.

No dogs please.

What to bring
