East Haven waders

Just a few from East Haven where I dropped in on the way back from delivering Olive to her Carnoustie hairdressers! You'd think there would be a competent hairdresser in this great metropolis of Arbroath! Anyway I didn't get peace on the beach and couldn't be bothered wandering in the weather we've currently got so I retreated to look out on my garden.

These Redshanks look friendly but they were chasing each other all over the sandy beach


One of a count of fourteen Tree Sparrows, but I'm sure there are more. When I go out to fill up the feeders at least fifty birds fly out of the bushes, only to return quite quickly. I am having a problem with three different cats and chase them at every opportunity. It doesn't look like they're particularly competent at hunting and there are so many birds that they can't approach unseen


A very distinctive female Blackbird, much more patterned than the other three females in company with at least four males
