Newest first from Victoria Park Arbroath, the Tayock Hide, the Lurgies and Rossie Spit. A Curlew Sandpiper was on the spit on Friday and the Tayock photos were when we had to shelter for a long time during heavy rain.
Pied Wagtail at Victoria Park Arbroath, one of many on the beach, the park and along the roadside
Just a single Sanderling
One Turnstone still with some summer plumage, around 30 birds near the first shelter
Greenshank at Tayock Hide Montrose Basin. It's caught a very small flounder and looks to be trying to figure out how to swallow it, and wisely away from the water
Same Greenshank
Black-headed Gull, they didn't appear to breed at all, or in very few numbers this year in Angus. I have no knowledge of any nest sites and the few juveniles around might be incomers
This Curlew looked to have a small mussel which it was about to wash
Lapwings (juveniles I think)
An unusual Canada Goose at the Lurgies, could be a pigment problem but doesn't appear to be mud, another unknown
Common Darter Dragonfly which landed at my feet. It appeared to be watching the birds out on the mud as I was
This photo gives a good impression of the weather lately, cloudy and windy with lower than normal temperatures
