Finished work this afternoon down near the coast, so popped along to have a look at Lunan Bay. Found a nice drake Surf Scoter, Little Gull and a Great Northern Diver. Headed up to Montrose Basin after and got two Black Terns, a Ruff and great views of two Peregrines spooking the waders.....a nice end to the day
