Marsh Harrier - Summer visitors arriving, winter ones almost gone

A visit to a few of the Angus Lochs and I was surprised to see not one but two male Marsh Harriers and a newly arrived Osprey fishing over Kinnordy Loch. Further inland near Lintrathen I found my first Wheatear of the year, acting on a tip from another birder. Also a few of the remaining duck species, the ever cute Long-tailed Tits and a drone flying over Murton NNR

Mucked up with the harrier after I'd turned the dial too far in the rush as it flew past!!
