Avocet in Angus

An Avocet found by members of Angus and Dundee Bird Club on a club trip along the Angus Coast. These were never going to be the best photos of this rare visitor on a dull day and at distance but hey-ho it might hang around for a sunny day and come closer.

Octopus wreck at Auchmithie and another weird photo......

In a small area of the shingle beach at Auchmithie today I counted 17 dead Octopus and 4 Ling, all casualties of the strong easterly winds and huge seas of late. Perhaps a good sign was there were no dead birds or had the gulls just eaten then all? I've also included an older photo taken in my overgrown garden (wildlife garden) of a visit by some Starlings, 227 of them to be precise!
