The results of a hard walk in bright sunshine on August 3rd to Buddon Ness and along the beach, dunes and roads. I have to mention the blooming clegs which wouldn't give me peace almost all the way back.
I'd missed the high tide but did see a flock of over 100 Sanderlings, a few terns and Gannets out at sea.
Feel free to correct my identifications , I don't have time to get them all correct!
The only recent video, this Goldfinch in my garden eating thistle seeds, click here
Blue-tailed Damselfly, not a glorious starting photo and probably one of the last taken on the golf course, by which time I was knackered carrying the big lens and frustrated by the clegs
