Forfar Loch and Murton, Garganey still there along with canada Geese

The sun was shining briefly at Forfar Loch today and then well at Murton where the first of the summers Canada Geese turned up. Also there, some young Little Grebes and the Garganey pair are still viewable from the Gladstone Hide but are in the far corner and even more difficult to pick out from the Stewart Hide without a scope.

Five of the six Canada Geese at Murton.

Both Garganey are still at Murton, the female did appear. They are as far from the Gladstone and Stewart Hides as is possible.

Three nesting Great Crested Grebes near the Sports Centre at Forfar and not so wary.

This Sand Martin was trying to land on the cable at Forfar loch but its feet seemed too small to grip it.
