An update from the week, Murton, Arbroath, Fife and somewhere in the dark!

Despite some "dog days" a few birds of interest have turned up this past week but I didn't get photos of the best ones, a Hobby at Arbroath Cliffs and a Nightjar elsewhere, not even a silhouette. The Tawny Owl was only a few metres away and although I could have used the flash I didn't want to spook the bird, it was much darker than the photo appears. We also managed a trip to Fife Ness where around 350 Shags were lounging on the rocks at low tide.
