The first day of 2026 when I thought it worth going out with my camera, the forecast seemed acceptable, but wasn't when I got to Monifieth!

I eventually went to see the Waxwings in Monifieth, they were feeding in the bushes between the the Barry Buddon access road inland from the caravan site
This was one of only two photos where the sun lit up the plumage of these colourful visitors
Quite a bit of both ponds at Monikie were still frozen over, the ice free sections didn't have many species or numbers. Perhaps something will turn up, maybe even on Olive's hairdresser day in Carnoustie when my driving skills will be needed!
The Mute Swans and Mallards were taking the opportunity to bath and preen
This is a screen grab from Montrose Port Authority webcam, the camera is situated near the road bridge and looks seaward down the estuary and harbour. It looks like a section of ice surrounds the ship, more clips showed it slowly moving upstream. Or are they pumping out the bilges?
