Green Woodpecker, Siskins, Bullfinch and Purple Sandpiper

A bit of a tour today with a Green Woodpecker at Montreathmont Forest along with Siskins, Bullfinches and Great, Coal and Blue Tits and more. Later the Purple Sandpipers at Arbroath had re-located from their usual site as it was covered by the tide and a Black-headed Gull just starting to get its black head!
