A non-birding trip today to St Andrews

I did however notice these chaps when Olive and I were on our day trip to see St Andrews which appeared busy with graduations going on. The first photo is "Dave the Diver" an injured Red-throated Diver which has been at City Quay, Dundee for more than 2 years. Photographed in the shadow of the Unicorn which is just seen in the photo.
Next is one of the Fulmars nesting on the cliffs at St Andrews followed by a Gannet unusually close inshore who looked to be swimming back to the Bass Rock.
Below again are two separate Grey Herons fishing close to the harbour wall and obviously used to tourists and last a Rook, also very confident and coming close to visitors picnicking near the Old Course Club House.








Arbroath to Carnoustie Coastal Path

A few of the birds seen at the Elliot end of the coastal path and a rare view of Ringed Plover chicks, but can you find them in the photo? From the top a singing male Linnet, adult Ringed Plover, two adult Ringed Plover and two chicks and last one of many Whitethroats who are camera shy.
