A better day on Monday, at least in the afternoon so I went to Montrose Basin looking for the Pectoral Sandpiper from Saturday but to no avail. I'm blaming the Peregrine which flushed all of the waders, but it maybe just wasn't there anymore.
At least the Great and Little Egrets stayed around to entertain and I was able to count 17 Grey Plovers and get a brief view of the Spotted Redshank, I might even have a Peregrine photo?
A short spell at Tayock before it rained turned up large numbers of Shelducks spread over a large area and behind them seriously high numbers of Wigeon. I didn't stay to see if the Pink-footed Geese came in at dusk.
