Montreathmont Forest, Arbroath Harbour and Elliot

It's my hide rota week just now so I didn't venture far and ended up at Montreathmont, Arbroath Harbour and Elliot. Two unexpected visitors at Elliot were a female Sparrowhawk and a Roe Buck which admittedly looked lost and scruffy due to moulting into it's summer coat. Yet another Iceland Gull photo taken in between some serious showers and a Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler for comparison.
