Chiffchaff, Common Seal, Sanderling and Whoopers in a fly by

The first photo was a surprise to me, a Chiffchaff in February and below that a Common Seal youngster on the beach at Lunan Bay along with a Sanderling. The last photo is some of a group of Whooper Swans flying across Montrose Basin.

Harbour Porpoise in Arbroath Harbour

The first time I've ever seen a Harbour Porpoise in the outer harbour at Arbroath. It's possible the animal was injured or weak and a mark on its flank looks like it could be a propeller injury, lets hope nothing is actually wrong with it. I'll have a look again on Monday.

Photo taken at sunset and enhanced to reveal the mark on its side, this only shows half of the Porpoise from head to dorsal fin.
