Forest Birds to Sea Birds

   
First up are photos from my hide rota, a coffee break photo from Murton NR, and a badly timed visit to West Links in Arbroath where the tide was too high for any gulls to be roosting.

Videos are from Montrose Basin where it was to grim for any useful photos, and the wind didn't help my "dry eye" the one used for camera and scope. I did however get a couple of videos of a Curlew Sandpiper and assume it's the same bird I saw some time ago outwith camera range. Also there were 2 Red-throated Divers, 1 Great Egret, 1 Whimbrel and 5 Little Egrets.

Even the dull feral Pigeons get a mention on this blog!
