Great Northern Diver on my Webs!

   
Starting with the only photo from Lunan Bay on Tuesday and taken at extreme distance as was the video below, both of a long-staying Hooded Crow.

Next some media from my Webs count and as I was only carrying my scope and my P1000 it's mostly video. After the Webs I had a look for a Med Gull at West Links where I photographed the various Rock Pipits, and I found a second Grey Wagtail, the first is from East Haven in a video below.




Hooded Crow on the south side of the Lunan Water at Lunan Bay




Grey Plovers with a Redshank, from my Webs count at East Haven





Five Grey Plovers with another out of shot





Grey Wagtail on the rock armour at West Links, Arbroath











Another Scandinavian Rock Pipit Anthus petrosus littoralis (I think), a pretty strong supercillium and more so when it had the sun on it





They are all different and don't seem to reflect much light, this one is Anthus petrosus petrosus, the default British variant, European Rock Pipit





This one is also Anthus petrosus petrosus with some light on it





When the tide's in and there's nothing to see I photograph crows





and Herring Gulls





Jackdaw, a rare vistor to my garden and currently any bird is rare as the young male Sparrowhawk is still keeping most birds away. Photo through window





Half of the Redshanks at Arbroath Harbour sitting out the very high tide





The other half with two Purple Sandpipers
