On exercise at Arbroath Harbour, and "coffee birds" seen while sitting on my back step waiting for my slave to make the coffee. Yes, I will be in deep trouble now and thirsty later! All photos with the portable and covert P1000 which really enjoys the bright light at the harbour, and there's lamp posts and creels to brace and keep the camera steady. The VR built in also does a good job.

more video soon........
Eider drake in the outer harbour at Arbroath
The duck Eider which was feeding on crabs and mussels
Two young Herring Gulls which were giving the Eider female a hard time by trying to steal its food every time is resurfaced after a dive
There were 57 Great Black-backed Gulls in and around the harbour, mostly immatures with a few adult pairs
Ring numbers sent to ringer, yellow 146:M
Also sent, yellow X:135
Grey Wagtail on the Brothock which was flitting about the rocks catching insects
House Sparrow from the back step
A "brightened" Starling which was on my cage in the shade of a giant Cotoneaster
Still wary this Blackbird, and keeping a second male at bay
I'm obliged to photograph Olive's Goldfinches since she makes the coffee!
