Dundee Birding....(target 150 in 2024).
Sunday 27th March
An excellent day out round Angus with the local RSPB group. First stop was Monikie CP where 4 Little Gulls were hawking over the main reservoir, and 3 Sand Martins were seen rather distantly as well.
From there we headed to Crombie CP where 3 or 4 Chiffchaffs were making themselves heard and seen. Saw another one at Montreathmont Forest later too.
Nothing new at Montrose Basin or Auchmithie. Missed out on Corn Bunting by my navigation skills being a bit rusty, but one of the party spotted the Glaucous Gull at Arbroath hanging round a small fishing boat with a bunch of other gulls. A lifer for me.
121. Little Gull
122. Glaucous Gull
123. Sand Martin
