I had to go out to get a replacement light tube, yes of course it failed on Xmas Eve after everything was closed. It seemed approriate that I should go to the harbour while out to see if the Purple Sandpipers were making it any easier for photography, yes and no. My arms aren't long enough to reach far enough over and out from the sea wall to keep the white wall out of the shot, yes I'm never happy. The Little Grebe was still there and a Turnstone missing it's right foot.
Later I saw the Kingfisher at Keptie Pond but in the shade and it wouldn't settle with the people and noise around, even electric scooters today!

Purple Sandpipers roosting out the hight tide at Arbroath Harbour, avoiding their preferred roost the west breakwater due to the waves washing over it

I originally thought this Turnstone had one foot in a puddle on the deck of this boat, it's missing the right foot
The Redshanks standing on guard, obviously someone walked straight at them and flushed them all
