Greater Sand Plover, Dunbar (Sep 2008).

3rd Lothian Record of Greater Sand Plover, this bird had relocated from the Ythan Estuary (Aberdeen) on the 19th Sep, having been found there on the 12th. The bird ( a 1st-winter) was not seen first thing on the 20th so many of those who had twitched it had left before it was re-found and present for a few hours before being spooked by a Heron mid/late afternoon and it flew off never to be seen again... to the dissappointment of many.
The other Lothian records of Greater Sand Plover are - 1st-summer male at Aberlady in June 1982 & an adult male at Tyninghame / Belhaven Bay in June 1999.
