Last Day of Summer?

On probably the last hot day of the year the surface of Montrose Basin was glassy and with few waders to be seen.

A Black-tailed Godwit to report to the local ringer.

Two Dunlin at different stages of plumage, the right one is closest to winter colours.

A bit blurry but I don't get many chances to get a Greenshank in flight.

An unexpected Great Crested Grebe at the Lurgies. Below a Common Seal lazily cruising near the old harbour.
