Arctic Tern at the Ythan Estuary, Newburgh, Aberdeenshire
Common Tern at Ferryden, Montrose using the pole as a perch much as a Kestrel would and watching for small fish below
The King Eider drake at the Ythan returned again for another year
A Sand Martin chick sunbathing or waiting to be fed at the mouth of its nest brrow in the dunes at the Ythan
Act cool Jessie and that fella with the camera might not spot our nest
Skylark near Auchmithie
The only Spoonbill seen at Montrose Basin this year and it's thought it only stayed one day
Female Azure Damselfly, the first time I'd identified this species on the Carnoustie Golf Links
The male Azure Damselfly
One of the Great Crested Grebe nests on Forfar Loch, I think most nests failed again this year due to fluctuating water levels, the birds couldn't raise the nest quick enough to keep the eggs warm. There are also many gulls at the loch including Lesser Black-backed Gulls a main predator of duckling and young grebes.
