Green Sandpiper still at Murton 25/10/2018

I couldn't decide which of these to use so there's some "doublers".

This video was filmed from the track to the Gladstone Hide through some of the scrub. The bird then flew to the small pool closest to the viewpoint on the track to the Stewart Hide, by then the reserve was closing, and it was dark!

Wednesday's sunset from my house, and for the first time ever a photo from a mobile phone on this blog


Blackbird at Balgavies, had hoped for one of the elusive Redwings



Another Crow photo from near the paddling pool in Arbroath


I had a few in different poses and settled for this one of a Redshank on the ramp at West Links, Arbroath


One of the Redshanks feeding against the rock armour, temporarily spooked by a Crow


I like these difficult to photo Rock Pipits, they never stand still and survive the winter on the foreshore, maybe they think they're waders. We get a Scandinavian variant so I'll go and check them out in case any appear on the northerly forecast for the weekend


Rock Pipit again


Always plenty of Starlings feeding on the seaweed washed up along the rock armour and elsewhere along the coast
