A long post with many photos from my walk along to the estuary of the North Esk at Kinnaber Links. Basically I've imported birds other than terns and gannets which were covered in the previous posts, followed by insects and butterflies. Then some photos from Tayock at Montrose Basin, a quick look at Rossie Spit, and then insects and butterflies in my garden.
Photos will be in alphabetical order for each day I was out, with an odd photo fitted in from elsewhere, identities for insects aren't guaranteed, and from ObsIdentify and Paul Brock's book.
I'd give a bit more info but I'm being called to mow the lawn(s).
