A young Bar-tailed Godwit has smashed the record for length of a non-stop flight in the species.
Travelling an astonishing 13,560 km in just over 11 days, the five-month-old godwit departed Alaska on 13 October and touched down at Ansons Bay in north-east Tasmania on 24th.
Nothing record breaking below from an early morning visit to Montrose Basin and a late afternoon look at Victoria Park and Keptie Pond for a Pallid Swift - failed.
The Pink-footed Geese below were flushed by someone walking out in front of the Tayock Bird Hide, the clue's in the name idiot!

Pink-footed Geese
Greenshank, the Lurgies
Goldcrest, also Lurgies
Carrion Crow, Victoria Park, Arbroath
Stonechat, Victoria Park
Pintail hybrid at Keptie Pond for it's 3rd or 4th year
No idea where the yellow legs come from
The Pintail above's current mate, no ideas about this one, perhaps something with an exotic in it
Goosander drake, just this one and one other drake
