Just checked, maybe a Linnet. A whole bunch of them came to the other part later on where I was and it looks similar to them. At Longniddry. This was at Aberlady which is not far from the other place.
Take that back, not a Linnet. You could be right. Or a tree pipit? Last edited by Maggie28; 04-10-10 at 06:54 PM.

No idea on the Skua (living in land locked Manchester), but the other is a Meadow Pipit the long hind claw is a dead giveaway.

Looks like a G.Skua to me Maggie,well captured and the 2nd is definitely a Meadow Pipit......as Merlin says look at the long hind claw which is diagnostic.

The skua is a juvenile Arctic Skua and the other bird is indeed a Meadow Pipit
