There were only three Common Terns on the beach but that made it easier to concentrate on just them instead of always moving to the one which looked like diving.
The Peregrines (not a secret at St Cyrus) appear to have just one chick and both provided some action when chasing a Fulmar and Jackdaw around for being too close.
There is a small Sand Martin colony at Bridge of Dun and along with House Martins and some Swallows they were feeding on both sides of the bridge with the Sand Martins often taking flies from the rivers surface.
At Mains of Dun just at the start of the path to the hides I found a Spotted Flycatcher feeding from a fence in the corner of the small paddock in front of the farm and a wee bit further on a Blackcap flitting through the trees.
