Little Terns, Montrose

   
A surprise find on the beach behind Glaxo in Montrose, 2 Little Terns which stayed long enough for at least one other birder to see them after getting my text.
The videos below were taken with a long zoom at Arbroath Cliffs between Whiting Ness and Auchmithie, most have had the volume reduced due to the noisy Kittiwakes!
