A surprise find today on the track to Scurdie Ness Lighthouse near Ferryden, Montrose, a couple of Chiffchaffs which I think may be over-wintering birds and not early arrivals. There were Purple Sandpipers in the area but not much else to see. Elsewhere two large mixed flocks of Corn Buntings, Reed Buntings, Yellowhammers, Tree Sparrows and Linnets, one near Auchmithie and the other at Lunan Village
Chiffchaff
With a small spider in its beak, looks to have red stripes?
I can't say for sure if I got photos of each Chiffchaff, they look different but the light kept changing and they were in and out of the shade in some willows. I did have two photos with both and saw them together briefly. The pink/red background is an oil support vessel in the harbour hundreds of metres distant
