St Cyrus Nature Reserve - Birds

I'd gone to St Cyrus to find Stonechats and was successful. Also around were Peregrine, Buzzard, Kestrel, Meadow Pipit, Linnet, Curlew, Wigeon, Dunnock, Yellowhammer, House Martin, Swallow, Shelduck, Cormorant and Herring and Black-headed Gulls.

From the top, Female Stonechat, Juvenile, Male and I think the female with a Yellowhammer and Dunnock at the bottom of the larger photos before a Curlew and a Linnet.

A male Linnet
