I'm watching some interesting behaviour at a roof top House Sparrow nest just now and will post my conclusions once I've spent more time watching what's going on and coming up with an answer!
Osprey before a fishing attempt at Montrose Basin which did prove successful as I saw it eating the head of a flounder on the mid basin tree before flying off to deliver the body to his mate
Next frame showing the same Osprey
A Red Kite over Miss Erskine's Bank being harried by Shelducks but their lack of mobility didn't pose any problems for the more agile Red Kite
First Whimbrels for me this season at East Haven, another bird was present but not photographed as it was even further away than these
This might be the other Whimbrel or just one of the two above, I can't remember
East of East Haven a large number, possibly as many as 70 Sanderlings were on the high tide line, some showing more breeding plumage than others. These were unusually wary, probably due to the strong wind but with a bit care we managed to get past them without scaring them away
About half of a flock of Black-tailed Godwits currently at Montrose Basin, these were seen at the Slunks, Lurgies and Maryton Ditch
A Willow Warbler, photographed before it manages to disappear in the rapidly growing foliage on the path-side trees at the Lurgies
The only bird of any interest at the Bank of Scotland Hide was this fishing Grey Heron, but yesterday two Spotted Redshanks were reported nearby
We used to get Collared Doves in the garden and this is the first for years and only came in on one of the coldest and windiest days this week
This Feral Pigeon has black eyes which is different from the red/orange of the others and I believe it could be the offspring of an escaped special breed we had a few years ago which I'll investigate if I can
