Pintails, Godwits and Geese


An unsuccessful trip to Tayock at Montrose Basin where I'd gone to find two Pale-bellied Brent Geese and a single Barnacle Goose which had been reported a few times there. I was a bit late in getting there and the tide was further in than I like. In consolation, I did count 12 Pintails, and a few Black-tailed Godwits flew in to feed on the fast shrinking mud. The long-staying Great Egret appeared to be with a number of Herons between the Wigeon Hide and Miss Erskine's Bank.
