Mains of Dun and Shelduck Hide, Montrose Basin

Walking down the track and at the Shelduck Hide I was surprised to hear a calling male Cuckoo then see it sitting on the power line before it flew inland towards Bridge of Dun. I also saw four Brown Hares, six Red-breasted Mergansers, five Skylarks, a moth which feeds on nettles called "The Snout" and it also looks like a Whooper Swan has been left behind as last year at the Lurgies when the others migrated north.
