Going back to my roots - Arbroath Harbour

   
After an early morning drive looking for Owls followed by a fruitless search for the Great Grey Shrike, and in the wind and rain, I went back to my roots. On the way I had a brief look at Kinnordy and photographed a tree!

Dipper on the Brothock Burn near Arbroath Harbour



House Sparrow trying to be a Dipper







Adult Herring Gull at Danger Point, Arbroath



Adult



A 5th calendar year sub adult

4th calendar year



A 3rd calendar year



Probably the same 3rd year



More human rubbish, this time a carrier bag tangled around this young Herring Gull's leg



Not long after this the bird landed in the water of a shallow pool, the bag took on water and when it took off the bag fell or tore off




One of two large trees at Loch of Kinnordy which may be down by the time I'm typing this, and all done by a Beaver. The two trees are just left of the main bird hide at the loch



This one's included for Robyn my current favourite grandkid!



It must be spring, the Rooks are building their nests







One even looks to be sitting in a nest, but not yet on eggs, that will be a few weeks yet I imagine
