Montrose Beach, birds and Dolphins

Skuas, both Great and Arctic along with five Red-throated Divers but all too far for photos. This Common Scoter looked to have fallen asleep and drifted inshore as many of its mates were well out to sea. Perhaps as many as six dolphins near the green buoy marking the river mouth also put on a show for the visitors.

Good to see the return of the Leucistic Oystercatcher, or did it even go away?

Osprey, may have a bit of line caught in its talon?
