Start of the returning Waders

What happens when you go looking for Terns on the rocks and it's high tide. I need to find a high tide roost, perhaps a trip to Lunan Bay or Fishtown of Usan. Meantime here's some from Arbroath and one from Murton, and maybe a video? Yes thought I had a new one.

Another, one of around 20 in and around the Gayfield area

The remaining Pink-footed Goose at Montrose Basin. I discovered that it can't fly, probably an old war wound, lead shot I presume
