Patch List

A list of all the birds I have seen on my Lothian patch at Cramond just to the NW of Edinburgh. I have been working this site since January 2014, hence it’s a very new site to me, but as I become familiar with the status of different species and the yearly birding cycle on this fantastic new patch I’ll add in a species status key. List updated every time a new patch bird is seen.
