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

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........
