Pomarine Skua and the Basin Bittern

Luckily today when I visited the SWT Centre at Montrose Basin the newly arrived Bittern obliged by walking into the open just long enough to get a few photos. I then left there to look for a Slavonian Grebe reported at Lunan Bay and got some distant shots of a Pomarine Skua which flew in from the sea and temporarily landed on the beach. Finally after much perseverance I did find the Slavonian Grebe but it was too far out in light to poor for the camera.

I wonder if it's the same one I saw near Arbroath this week?
