Not so "grand tour"


Some common species from a short "grand tour" before the sun disappears into the mist forecast for the next few days. 


My first Lesser Black-backed Gull of 2021, seen at Forfar Loch



This one appears to have a larger bill and is still showing some dark specs on its head and neck, also smaller mirrors which I reckon makes it a 4th calendar year bird



The ever present and noisy Magpies



Someone had fed them so I took the opportunity for some photos



One of the very approachable Robins



This Blackbird seemed to be used to people




Now from Montreathmont Forest, a female Chaffinch



Dunnock



Great Tit



Female Siskin



Male Siskin



And now from my garden while waiting for Olive. Two of three Goldfinches, the first since autumn







Finally and as I had to lie on the ground to take this photo, an unknown species of snail yet to be researched
