Bean Goose and Purple Sandpiper

Starting off with one I'd missed, I took a photos of some Pink-footed Geese at Montrose Basin and originally had missed the Bean Goose below, I had noticed it was different and forgot to check, note to self pay more attention.

The second photo is another bird returning to our shores for the winter (Saturday I believe), it's a Purple Sandpiper seen at Inchcape Park, Arbroath.

The remaining photos are from a recce I did at Carnoustie Golf Links and some from Carnoustie Beach mostly taken into the sun at high tide.
