Shelduck hide area Montrose Basin. Whimbrel and an aquatic Roe Buck

I've been trying to get a photo of this for some time now, a Whimbrel. This one was at Miss Erskine's Bank some distance away but a series of photos confirmed my ID. The photos were taken on 7/8/2013.

One of this years young Ospreys

Another youngster this time a Sedge Warbler hiding in the undergrowth

Bumblebees and a Six Spot Burnet Moth

I think this is a Buff-tailed Bumblebee

Various unnamed Hoverflies, I'll research them in the winter!

All of these at Montreathmont Forest on an intermittent Sunny day

Butterflies

Peacock, Small Copper and a Common Blue female.
