Ruff outside - not just the weather

   
Newest first from West Links on Thursday, everything else from Wednesday at Rossie Spit except the add-on Little Egret from the Lurgies where I found a Green Sandpiper today. All photos taken in poor light and often too far away with my P1000, even video wasn't easy!

Moulting Greenshank video bombed by a Green Sandpiper, click here   a bit gloomy when this was filmed



Ruff at West Links, Arbroath, just beginning to rain and getting very windy



Trying to find some shelter



Success

It wanted to come closer but every time it did another delivery van went past!



Drake Goldeneyes have been back for months, this is the first duck I've seen



The same injured Redshank I saw at Maryton Ditch, it looks like it's leg is back to front or rotated 180 degrees at the hip. First seen on 20/8/2020, it's good to see it's still healthy otherwise




Curlew on the garage side of the bay at Rossie



Less than half of the huge flock of Redshanks at Rossie Spit, a similarly large flock of Oystercatchers and Lapwings too



Closer view


This Little Egret flew reasonably close to a group from ADBC on Saturday (I think it was Saturday)
