Red-breasted Mergansers and Purple Sandpipers

Some photos of the few birds that were around at the Lurgies on Friday. Onward from there to Inchcape Park in Arbroath to count the Purple Sandpipers. Finally, and to get out of the cold wind on the coast a short look around Keptie Pond.

A three minute, camera trap video of the Fox I thought had stopped visiting my garden, click here

The sun was in the wrong place, later high tides may suit when the sun will be behind me





The fairly tame Rock Pipit at Inchcape, seems to be used to humans (and me)

Something evil looking about this Coot at Keptie Pond


The last unattached Mallard duck at Keptie, she has five suitors, they'll be trouble
