Spring and a young man's heart turns to love. I'm no longer young so Birding will have to do.................

Some photos taken while "entertaining" some visitors we had staying over, honest they did want to go for a walk that just happened to involve birds. Photos from St Cyrus, Gourdon, Fowlsheugh and Auchmithie with a couple from Arbroath at the end. Most photos on a dull day but you can see the difference when the sun shone on a Rock Pipit, a species I've always had trouble getting a decent photo of.
