A misty cold day at high tide at Montrose Basin

Not the best day for photography but at least I did get a couple of shots of the Little Egret currently at the Basin. The two pictures below were taken from the path on the south bank of the river where it enters the basin at a distance of 170 metres with mist blowing in.
You can judge the size of the Egret by comparing it with the crow also sitting in the tree.


Other birds in evidence were, Goosanders, Mergansers, Shelduck, Mallard, Pied Wagtail, Grey Wagtail, Song Thrush, Yellowhammer and Goldfinches amongst others. The Bumble Bee was taken in my garden when the sun came out for about an hour!
