Crawton and Montrose Basin

Some photos over two days with different weather and light. I suspect that even with the naked eye I didn't see just how many birds were in the air over the sea at Crawton, mostly guillemots. There was a constant stream of birds including razorbill, eider, kittiwake, shag and the odd fulmar as well as a single seal which passed through.

A couple of photos from a cold and windy Montrose Basin

A bit dull for good photography but a half decent one of a shelduck in the burn at the old harbour. Not very alert as I was quite close before it eventually spotted me. The Goosanders are in their summer plumage.
