Free reign to head to some of the Deep South sites, well Westhaven near Carnoustie to be precise.
Plenty little gull but a bit distant for photos & a good range of terns and waders, unfortunately lots of dog walkers so birds were constantly disturbed.
Montreathmont didn't dissapoint.Despite the reasonably warm temperatures we experienced, few butterflies emerged but a few whites, small tortoiseshell and common blue about as well as common blue damselfly and a black darter, photographed by brovver, Gordon.

Good birds in the area, initially quietish but patience and time brought its rewards. Spotted flycatcher, willow warbler, crossbill put in an appearance as well as many great spotted woodpecker, jay. More unusually, a common lizard disappeared quickly from the side of a log.

A single red squirrel put in an appearance and a tour of other nearby sites added a couple of osprey.
Montrose Basin at 4pm was the wrong time....tide well out but another osprey and a few waders including greenshank picked up.
