Red-necked Grebe at Lintrathen

It had to be a video of the Red-necked Grebe at Loch of Lintrathen today, it was always just too far away even for a good lens. You can see I reverted to scenery at Backwater Dam again, the only birds were a few common ducks,a Kestrel and a Buzzard. One of the Glaucous Gulls was still around at Danger Point, Arbroath but the photo below late in the day is of a ringed bird.

Great Black-backed Gull "Yellow L51" at Danger point, Arbroath. Maybe an Aberdeen bird but I'll update that when I get the info.  Ringed at Ramscraigs, Dunbeath, Highland on 27/6/2016, 210 days ago and 193 km distant, info from Mark Oksien.

Just as the sun started to come out at Backwater Dam this morning, a bit of a blot on this landscape but a nice reflection
