An afternoon trip to Arbroath Cliffs, and in the sun! Birds seen were, Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Shags, Herring Gulls, Razorbills, Cormorants, Oystercatchers, Rock Pipits, Skylarks and Feral Pigeons. Although there are lots of Kittiwakes, they are almost always below the cliff top and it's difficult to get focus, birds with the sky background are easier to photograph and there's no clutter in the background.
Elsewhere a couple of photos from the Lurgies, my first butterfly photo this year, and my current favourite bee species, the Tree Bumblebee!
No videos, instead a link where you can sign up for the Wild Justice Newsletter, they campaign using the law and courts for change to wildlife laws and regulation, and it works, click here Wild Justice

Every year a Herring Gull sits on this perch and lets me get very close
It's got a partner this year

I saw two of these Peacock Butterflies yesterday, this is the first I could photograph and in my garden
I assume this is the same Tree Bumblebee Queen I posted here before
