Trying to recollect sightings after a couple of weeks is not easy but Saturday the 8th offered a group of crossbill overhead during a particularly bad round of golf at Stonehaven. A shooting pool near Barras (suggested by Harry B) was investigated and a fair few mallard were present as well as 3 dragonfly species.
Sunday the 9th was a great day all round and included some Angus sites such as the well worn track around St Cyrus NNR, Montreathmont forest, Balgavies loch, Montrose Basin and the like.
Undoubted highlight was the comma butterfly seen at Montreathmont on the 9th. Other butterflies that weekend included 70+ meadow brown, 2 common blue, 2 small copper at St Cyrus. Red admiral at St C as well as Montreathmont and a small tortoiseshell and Peacock at Balgavies.
