Grey Wagtail and noisy Kittiwakes

   
While waiting on a woman (again) I wandered along the Brothock and found the Grey Wagtail below. Later, as the tide came in I moved to Arbroath Cliffs where the Kittiwakes had returned along with courting Shags. I've got a bit of a backlog just now, so more to come....

Kittiwakes, click here for noisy video     I accidentally spliced this video with another!

It's not all love, there's some war or fighting over the female?



This tug o' war went on for a couple of minutes

Unusual to see a Curlew foraging on the cliffs

A bit of Hoodie in this Carrion Crow?



Dunlin, not sure what's caused the plumage malfunction



Eiders are coming inshore to court and pair







The young Herring Gull had been given something to eat from the adult and dropped it
