A second attempt to find and identify the visiting Lesser yellowlegs at the Slunks at Montrose Basin. Finding it wasn't so easy as it was feeding just out of sight and only viewed sporadically and from great distance.
"Hasta la vista, baby" I'll be back (if it stays around).
29 Pink-footed Geese counted from the Lurgies amongst many Greylags.
New slightly closer Lesser yellowlegs videos below,
The Lesser yellowlegs photos were taken at 366 metres across the river and mud, through shimmering and hazy sunlight, and the exposure turned down to stop flaring. Might get a screen grab from the new videos?
Lesser yellowlegs, seen in the Slunks occasionally where the bend the burn mostly obscured it
Lesser yellowlegs and Greenshank in foreground
Greenshank on the north bank of the North Esk near the Slunks
Razorbill juvenile, same as above
Kingfisher, just upstream from the previous two birds
The Whooper Swan with the apparent neck issue which has remained all summer at and around the Lurgies. It had been sleeping until a canoeist paddled all of the way up the basin and flushed thousands of birds, gulls, geese, waders and ducks!
