Early September catch up

Some photos from Montrose Basin, Easthaven, Murton, Montreathmont and my garden. The current strong winds aren't making life easy for birding and holding a 5 kilo camera still enough. I'm working on a plan to find shelter and birds together.

Again and being lit up by an ever lower sun

One of around 30 Pied Wagtails seen on my Webs count at Easthaven, also 1 Grey Wagtail near the car park

Red Admiral at Easthaven

Looks to be a Silver Y Moth, Easthaven

The Barnacle Goose is still with the Greylags at Murton NR

A young Blue Tit at Montreathmont Forest

Coal Tit

A scruffy juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker

Maybe a sibling of the one above but looking much fresher

Great Tit

The last count of these cheeky young House Sparrows in my garden was 63 birds, add to that 4 Dunnocks, 12 Starlings, a Robin, Goldfinch and Chaffinches. I'm saving up for winter seed now!
