A run up to Scurdie Ness produced only a flock of Tree Sparrows, the same for Linnets, a few Guillemots, Shags and a single Purple Sandpiper with some Turnstones.
Next stop at Mains of Usan, there was nothing on the sea or passing through, some Gannets were seen near the horizon and a strange Pipit which I'll have to say was a Rock Pipit.
I dropped Olive off, she was cold, and went down to West Links in Arbroath where a few species were feeding on the tide line as the tide ebbed. The light faded very quickly, and even when it seemed bright the photos got ever more grainy, it's winter!
Might try monochrome, probably won't make much difference for Sanderlings.
Maybe more in the other camera, have this thi noo, Sheryl Crow - If It Makes You Happy

Sanderlings
Just couldn't get a photo with clear reflection
Sheryl the Carrion Crow with a Limpet, the Crows seem to have become beach specialists, often seen dropping Mussels to break the shells
A Rook at Mains of Usan, just about the only bird of any interest
Jackdaw also at Usan
