Keptie Pond, Arbroath turns up trumps again

Today at Keptie were a pair of Blackcaps. two Chiffchaffs, and two Greylag Geese the first I've seen on the pond. One of the early nesting birds the Coots were showing off five new chicks and also fighting with another Coot as they do.

Later at Monikie some of the seasons first Little Gulls had arrived and as I couldn't decide which photos to leave out I've added them all. I was pleasantly surprised to get the photos from quite far away.
