Birds mostly photographed at Kinnaber Beach in Montrose Bay, very intermittent light meant constant changes to settings, and as the tide ebbed the birds moved too far offshore.
Others from Scurdie Ness and gulls feeding in a large pool where the Brothock Burn reaches the foreshore in Arbroath. That may happen again as the pool captures thousands of small bait fish when the tide recedes at this time of year.
Arctic Skua juvenile at Kinnaber 11/9/2023, it came from behind me and was past before I saw it!
Red-throated Divers various, Kinnaber
Guillemot
Ringed Plover juvenile
Sanderlings
Herring Gulls fishing at Danger Point (Old Brewhouse), around 100 in the pool created by the old sewage pipe
Gannets fishing again at Kinnaber, still very mobile along the beach
