Birdwatching

East Lothian is a rewarding location for bird watching with a rich diversity of habitats to suit all birders.  From within the town there are opportunities to spot a large number of sea birds including noisy Kittiwakes nesting on the castle walls, diving gannets and cormorants, wings outstretched.  More experienced birders will find there are excellent locations at Tyninghame and Belhaven Bays and further east at Skateraw, Barns Ness and Thorntonloch. Inland visit the Whiteadder reservoir and Lammermuir hills.  A little further away visit St Abb’s Head for a spectacular cliff walk or North Berwick’s Seabird centre is an educational hub.
