Egrets, Montrose Basin - photos and video

Photos and videos of birds from the Lurgies and Maryton at Montrose Basin, video used when subjects were too far away. 

Below them are photos from Murton where Al was mowing the meadows which of course meant there were no birds to be seen! Have some Dragonflies as a consolation.

Little Egret at the Lurgies 

I had a fourth photo in this sequence as it landed in the water, it was a mess of light and focus....

Common Darter Dragonflies depositing eggs at Murton, it was near impossible to get any kind of focus as they darted about randomly
