Some long range photos from a walk down to the Wigeon Hide at Montrose Basin. The hide is around 100 metres back from the edge of the mud where the wader flocks roost at high tide. There were a few Fieldfares and Redwings on the way along the track and a large flock of Goldfinches with a few Linnets in front of the hide.
A different Dunlin, a strawberry blond, of sorts, click here for video The previously posted one was almost all white
I like this one of a Redwing sitting atop a very large tree near the Mains of Dun car park. It was in a shaft of sunlight with a dark rain cloud in the background
One of at least two juvenile Grey Plovers in front of the Wigeon Hide, there were adults further out on the mud (we were a bit late getting there)
Probably one of the pair I'd seen not far away at Miss Erskines Bank, today it was south of the Wigeon Hide
Very unusual for a Carrion Crow to let me get close, it was sheltering behind a grass bank out of the wind and didn't want to move
The view from the track looking over a tattie field and across the Basin towards Montrose. The white things on the surface of the field are potatoes which is puzzling me so I'll ask an expert when I next see him
