Garganey re-visited

The Garganey were too far away, 150 metres according to my map software but ever the optimist I tried for a photo anyway and at least got a record shot. I did get closer to the Common Blue Damselflies and the male Yellowhammer singing on the car park hide roof.







Murton, Montrose Basin and Arbroath Harbour

Just a tidy up of my photo folder today so far and it included a bit of a squabble between Black-headed Gulls at Murton where the high water has ruined their breeding attempts this year. The photo below that was taken near to dusk at Inchcape Park, Arbroath where the Iceland Gull is, it's a Peregrine still trying to deliver a neck bite to a squawking Blackbird or Thrush. The Red-breasted Mergansers are late to start breeding and this pair have been hanging around at the Lurgies. There a only a few Sandwich Terns around at Arbroath and the one in the bottom photo was calling for some company.
