Ring Ouzel, Common Sandpiper and even Dolphins - from three days this week

In reverse time order starting with photos from Glenesk and Lochlee, including Ring Ouzel and Common Sandpipers amongst a few others. The following day at Easthaven I found my first Whimbrels of the season and two White Wagtails which couldn't be photographed into the heat shimmer! Murton NR is still hosting a single Black-tailed Godwit, two Common Sandpipers, a number of Willow Warblers but no sign today of Little Ringed Plover.

Finally, three photos from Seaton Cliffs, Arbroath and the two noisy Herring Gulls who think they're going to nest on my dormer but they'll be discouraged as in previous years.
