Lesser Yellowlegs and Avocet

An Avocet at Montrose Basin reported early on Sunday morning on the ADBC text by Jonathan Pattullo. The Lesser Yellowlegs was also still at the Lurgies along with the apparently tame Black-tailed Godwit when Olive and I stopped on our way to repair another child's bike! Thanks to a phone call from Ian Kelman who'd refound the Avocet I was able to get a couple of distant record photos.

Avocet, seen at Maryton Ditch, Montrose Basin. Another rare bird to add to Olive's list which is imbalanced with more rarities than is normal because she only turns up when there's something worthwhile. Or got dragged along when we were diverted on the way to somewhere else!

Always distant on the edge of the South Esk
