We don't often find Hooded Crows in Angus and it's usually in winter, so I was pleased to find an approachable one on the beach at the Ythan Estuary. Also, as I can't go to the Ythan without taking seal photos, three seal photos including a very obliging youngster, one of many coming close for a look at the humans.

I can't make out what it's feeding on and how much is left to determine the original size of the bird
This youngster posed on the beach for visitors for ages
