I'm involved with Angus and Dundee Bird Club's volunteer surveying of the golf links in Carnoustie, and this post is simply 28 record photos of the species I found when doing a survey today. The total species count was 41 but I couldn't get photos of them all in the time I had.
A Cuckoo calling and a Garden Warbler singing and seen briefly were the highlights. I think it's a good list taking into account the works going on in the best habitat where the Seagreen Wind Farm's cables are being installed.
An aside. Previously while surveying at Carnoustie, a friendly Glaswegian golfer asked "what are you looking for", I replied "birds", he replied "are you Frank McAvennie". Brilliant, I just love that kind of instant humour. (Frank says he's never said that in real life).
