I also caught up with some Grey Wagtails and a Dipper at Powmouth and saw my first two Whitethroats of the year along with Blackcaps, Willow Warblers and many Swallows, House Martins and some nest prospecting Sand Martins.
Garden Warbler, near Powmouth
A crop of the one above which itself was cropped from a 6000 by 4000 photo taken on a dull day with a strong wind, one of only three shots I got
One of two Grey Wagtail chicks I saw being fed by both parents, hopefully I just didn't see some others. See the link to the photo below posted before on this blog
Very likely as both photos were taken in almost exactly the same place that these are the parents. This was taken on April 6th in much better conditions
Dipper, upstream of the metal foot bridge at Powmouth
A female Eider looking for somewhere to nest was sitting on top of the dyke near the Shelduck Hide at Montrose Basin, last seen in the middle of the path, let's hope it finds a better spot
Rubbish photo in more ways than one, of a distant Lesser Black-backed Gull from the Shelduck Hide but included to show the polythene caught around both feet. A real life example of what our rubbish does to wildlife and I wonder if it had to struggle free from a larger piece
