It was sunny on Wednesday so I ended up spending far too much time idling around Montrose Basin but with good results as the migration is getting into full swing. Some of these were very far away but I thought it was worth posting some of the dodgy photos. I found two very small waders which I thought were Little Stints but at first I didn't "claim" them until a wiser man than me confirmed them. Also missing from the photos are Greenshank, Ruff, Snipe which were in the Slunks and two Ospreys fishing downstream of the Old Harbour.
