Action if not always quality, time for Terns again

My first Common Tern of the year on the beach near Glaxo in Montrose and some of the Sandwich Terns which have been around for a while now. I'm posting photos with something going on instead of slightly better ones in the usual poses. Some other photos from around Montrose below and even two lambs as requested by Olive. Posting might be interrupted due to a car issue which I hope to resolve quickly.....


Common Tern and sand eel


Not sharp but as you can see in the next photo, successful


Another of many sand eels the Sandwich Terns caught


The hover


Some of 46 Black-tailed Godwits still hanging around the Basin, at least six are ringed


Little Ringed Plover, distant as usual


This Shelduck wasn't aware I was there till it landed, then it left again


Shoveler drake at Kinnordy


Starling in my garden


One of two Goldfinches coming to my garden for the first time this year


Cute or tasty, depends on your point of view I guess
