An unexpected Osprey flew over the Slunks today at Montrose Basin, a late bird but not unknown at this time.
Only minutes before the sighting I'd found the two reported Bearded Tits in the reedbeds, they appeared quite close to my viewpoint, sat on the reeds very briefly and flew off and disappeared into the reeds. Of course they did. I did see them another two times as they relocated, both around 50 meters away and just for a few seconds.
