In search of the elusive Glossy Ibis

I eventually found the Glossy Ibis at Montrose Basin today, nobody knew where it went when not near the Shelduck Hide and we still don't as that's where it was. I suspect that it can see approaching birders and walkers when they are some distance away and simply flies away, most likely to the Mill Burn area.

Don't miss the Glenesk birds below the Montrose Basin birds from 11/5/2016, the Glenesk ones were from 9/5/2016 and also seen that day were, Ring Ouzel, Tree Pipit and Cuckoos.

Scared away before it came close enough for a photo with my DSLR


Another with the SX60, probably at 65 times zoom


My first Whitethroat of the year already nest building with what I think is some spiders silk

Roe Deer buck crossing the South Esk at the Lurgies


The Redshank didn't seemed worried by the large mammal


Female Redstart in Glenesk, I like this one


Male Redstart in the same place and likely it's mate
