Black Tern, Little Gull, Barnacle Goose and Great Egret

   
More Little Gulls, still a juvenile Black Tern and various Roseate Terns have been seen at Inchcape Park (beach) in Arbroath. I haven't seen a Roseate yet, and I'm stuck a home waiting a tradesman to fit a smart meter!

Eventually Gus and I found the Little Stint at Rossie Spit on Monday when it conviently walked in front of a large flat black stone!
Also an out of season Barnacle Goose at the Lurgies, 5 Ruff remaining, the expected Great Egret at Maryton and even more Canada Geese.

One of the Black Terns was still around Inchcape Park in Arbroath on the evening of 28/8/2022







Also, more Little Gulls and a few more juveniles coming in as it got dark

The Great White Egret is still at Montrose Basin and on Monday was favouring a channel north of the river at Maryton Ditch




The injured/disabled Whooper Swan is still being seen at the Lurgies and appeared to be less wary when feeding in the tail of the Lurgies pool








I was pointed in the direction of "Large Yellow Underwing" for this moth, a few of which I've seen in my garden, this one on my living room window in daylight




A second one was disturbed while cutting grass




Olive's Rose has excelled after the rain with lots of new flowers and more to come
