Whooped dee do

   
I couldn't buy a Whooper Swan sighting until the last two days, it seems they've arrived in larger numbers and most looked to be resting after the flight to Angus.

Whooper Swans in a field just north of Inverkeilor, on a flooded section after the Lunan burst its banks. No cygnets with this three. Photo from the A92 roadside



In the same flood, this family have five cygnets. Note there's nowhere to park unless you walk from the Lunan Bridge layby




Another childless pair on Miss Erskines Bank, Montrose Basin. Seen alongside a pair of Mutes that have five cygnets


 
The view from the Tayock Hide just before I had to leave after someone walked around to the front of the hide, it's a hide for heavens sake, use it
