Montrose Basin in between squalls on September 19th

Poor photo from a distance on a dull day, but is this a Bar-tailed Godwit?

Arbroath Harbour

A lucky shot of a Guillemot diving, taken from the breakwater at Arbroath Harbour. It was a calm day and the birds actually came in to me, I suspect the anglers may throw them scraps.





This Guillemot was preening








A Razorbill for comparison









Great Black-backed Gull









Young Herring Gull








Female Eider Duck









Starling with a broken ankle, it may lose the foot

St Cyrus Beach on a blustery day

The high water line is covered in what looks like forestry waste, many pieces have saw cuts but not new.

Three photos of the same Wheatear which was flitting along the beach in front of me. There were a few White Wagtails up at the hide at the mouth of the North Esk, young Guillemots and various gulls.
