Montrose Basin, incoming tide, setting sun and stalking predator.

While at Montrose Basin from the car park at the old harbour I was struggling to get close enough to get a photo of anything and started looking at views instead of wildlife. I'd seen a large wake in the river which was high due to the rain and half thought it might be a seal, and was proved right when it popped up in one of my scenery shots.
I also got one picture of a Little Grebe but they and the even more wary Goosanders will need to be captured from the hide on the north bank with the sun then becoming the problem.
The quality isn't the best as I'd been trying out the digital zoom which I'd never rated and it proved the case.
