Craigmill Den near Carnoustie

A quick trip to Craigmill Den and then a short survey at Carnoustie Golf Links by which time it had become colder and windy which limited the numbers and species recorded. At Carnoustie the very defensive male Mute Swan at the bottom pond has apparently left to spend at least some of his time on another pond, I wonder if something happened or he's been injured defending a cygnet as one of the seven is missing. The pair of swans on the main pond continue with five cygnets and that is one less than I saw when newly fledged.
