Still a bit cold in Angus, summer migrants scarce

Another catch up selection from this week which has been curtailed after Olive generously gave me her cold!


Singing Blackcap male at Montrose Basin, unfortunately at the top of tall tree


One of the Brothock Burn Dippers complete with bling. I believe this one is still on the same territory as last year


Kittiwake just south of Auchmithie where many birds are preparing to nest on the cliff ledges


Maybe a very small wader this Little Ringed Plover, but not short on wingspan


Two of 12 Shags south of Auchmithie, five birds had rings which I've reported. These are Green EXS and Green IHF


Black-headed Gull at Montrose Basin


A "scabby doo" in my garden


Green-veined White Butterfly, just a few around yet


Now for nearly two weeks and known to most of my neighbours now and even on Facebook apparently!


Found in my archive, I recall there are 62 House Sparrows in this one from my garden in the distant past


This one must be a winter photo again and through the glazing, and is from my garden when 258 Starlings were counted
