Another dawdle down to Scurdie Ness in the hope that Common Terns and/or Gannets would be fishing close in, and a chance that the Dolphins would turn up as promised to Olive.
Juvenile Whitethroat, so clean and not worn like many of the male adults
Juvenile Sedge Warbler, was with another one or maybe two
Is autumn on its way? Common Scoter flying south, likely now in Lunan Bay, and a Common Sandpiper also at Scurdie Ness
NLV Pole Star, registered in Leith. It's a Northern Lighthouse Board ship and was working on the yellow buoy off Arbroath. Seen again doing the same with the red buoy off Scurdie Ness, and tracked via Marine Traffic: Global Ship Tracking, near Peterhead on Friday noon
Just the one Ringed Plover at the gull roost on the beach at Milimia Pizza, West Links, Arbroath. I was looking for the Mediterranean Gull and the leucistic Herring Gull, but every time I go down there's people on the beach roost. Time the schools were back........
One of the earlier broods of Tree Sparrows in my garden. I had a high count of 33 this week, and I've now seen a Jay four times in the garden. All of these birds which includes large numbers of House Sparrows has meant the return of a male Sparrowhawk
