Common Terns, Ospreys and Golden-moustached Fly Fox

   
Terns at Glaxo and Ferryden, mostly Common, a few Arctic and the noisy bunch the Sandwich. At the west end of Montrose Basin three fishing Ospreys, and a influx of Canada Geese alongside an increasing number of Greylags.  Videos at the links below>>>

Gannets at Lunan Bay, wait for the plunge        after the baitball was decimated        Riband Wave Moth, spot the movement


Common Tern adult fishing near Ferryden


One of this years juveniles from Glaxo or the SWT raft


This Osprey was fishing over the Slunks at Montrose Basin, just too far away, but by chance it's darvic ring, blue KU5 was lit up by the sunlight. I'll publish it's history once I get it


This Osprey and another, both without any jewelry, were fishing with the ringed bird and interacting with each other

Guillemot at Ferryden


Victoria Park beach in Arbroath, as the tide ebbed a large shoal of baitfish were partly stranded amongst the weed, and the gulls were making the most of an easy meal

Herring Gull with Lesser black-backed Gull, both adults

I love one of the names given to this wasp, Golden-moustached Fly Fox Ectemnius cavifrons. Found in Olive's garden along with the Leafwalker below
