Two separate visits to the Lurgies at Montrose Basin, and starting with some of the insects in Olive's garden where I was supposed to be cutting the grass. Some of the bees were identified by the ObsIdentify app, then checked in my insect book.
Little Egret, click here for video Greenshank, Montrose Basin
Tree Bumblebee, but will she stay around without the lure of the Cotoneaster which I have almost killed!
Red Mason Bee, the book says "sporadic in Scotland"
Peacock Butterfly
Garden Cross Spider, this was a tiny spider and the photo was taken to test whether I could get something using my 500mm lens with the subject on it's web
Buffish Mining Bee
This Little Egret flew up from the edge of the South Esk, I saw a brief flash of its wing as I sat on one of the concrete benches, and it didn't know I was there. Unfortunately for me I was spotted as I stood up
One of Saturday's Little Egrets which was just in front of the Old Harbour
This one and the other below were both seen on Friday and distant
Greenshank, a distant still of the bird in the video above, photographed on Saturday
This photo caught the end of a brief fight for the best fishing spot
A male Ruff moulting into its breeding plumage, seen on Friday but not on Saturday
Great Tit
Mute Swan, meticulously bathing and preening
Male Goosander
And finally, a Tree Sparrow in my front garden as I was having breakfast on Friday morning, photographed through a small opening in the vertical blinds
