Year Review - September 2016

September was a good month with two lifetime birds and my first photo of a Long-tailed Skua, we also had an influx of Curlew Sandpipers and many other species moving south


Long-tailed Skua juvenile near Easthaven then Westhaven. At first I thought it was being chased by the Curlew but it seemed it was just being followed!


One of five Bar-headed Geese at Kinnordy Loch


Bar-tailed Godwit at Barry Buddon, north of the lighthouses


A female or newly emerged male Black Darter Dragonfly at Kinnordy Loch


The Brunnich's Guillemot at Anstruther which sadly died within a few day of its arrival


The Common Snipe is in the centre of this photo, seen at Carnoustie Golf Links


A Cormorant feeding on the many small Roach in Keptie Pond, Arbroath


Two of seven Curlew Sandpipers I saw on a few occasions at Montrose Basin


Dunlin at Arbroath Harbour


One of two young Gannets resting on the rocks near Easthaven


Knot in both plumage's at the Ythan Estuary


Painted Lady in Olive's garden


An often seen Peregrine hunting over Montrose Basin, this time flying towards Rossie Spit and the wader roost


Probably the latest Wheatear I saw in autumn, at Elliot near the end of the month
