Granton and the world
Ever felt the urge to fly south for the winter? In Granton, masses of our birds do so - either heading off to the med and Africa to escape our winter, or arriving here in autumn to avoid arctic winters.
Thanks to Dom Black for this excellent illustration showing the annual journeys of some of our common local birds. Check out the bird migration atlas for more.
