A quiet and very calm Montrose asi this Monday morning. High tide has pushed the waders to the far end so not much in the way of bird calls.

Receding tide at Montrose basin. Bitterly cold, setting moon and fresh snow in the Angus glens in the distance....

A faint OCD trigger as a bonus as well 🤯🙂

Song thrush singing it's haiku out over the churchyard from a high tree...

Faint harr over Montrose basin this morning. Low tide , quiet apart from a song thrush behind in the town and the occasional redshank call...

A very low tide at a calm but dullush Montrose basin this morning. Oyster catchers and curlews competing with the gulls for audio levels...

The humble house sparrow... In a bush peaking over a wall up the lane to the high street...

Very low tide and equally low temperature at Montrose basin this morning. Dry clear skies. Oyster catchers chasing about in threes and fours shouting abuse at everything else...

A low tide Montrose basin view this morning. Curlews calling in the Rain in the distance.

A Chaffinch, in the courtyard behind the house at a stupid time of the morning, at least half an hour before the alarm was due to go off. Shouldn't complain I guess. It's nice to hear something different in the town centre.. 😃

Low tide at a slowly brightening Montrose basin this morning. Curlews calling in the distance, oyster catchers stressing out at everything as normal.

Robbins challenging the herring gulls for audio supremacy in the churchyard this morning.

That's funny. We came across these or their relatives in Australia the other year, when we were in Perth, Wa. I thought the bin chicken name was a local Aussie nickname...😄

Calm and exceptionally mild morning at Montrose basin. Tide creeping in.

Grey twilight at Montrose basin this morning. Calm but high tide.

Same song thrush as yesterday, picking an audio fight with the herring gulls now, noisy menaces, who have frustratingly started migrating back to the rooftops, same time as the season starts it's own migration, ...

So poetic 😊

It's nice to see a change as the mornings become lighter and a little fresher after a quite oppressive winter season

A muted, slightly misty early morning at Montrose basin today.

A really noisy song thrush doing a good job of drowning out the sound of the Robbins in the churchyard...

What a difference a weekend makes. Full dawn chorus as high tide at Montrose basin this morning...

The level of light in the sky improves more now as we get closer to March. Tide's coming back in at Montrose basin...

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.
What the hell?
FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.

Nice one on the @caledoniansleeper.bsky.social

Someone parked in Lidl the other night had some interesting cat seat covers in their car 😄

Getting much brighter in the morning now. Montrose basin view, Friday edition...

Bitterly cold though.🥶

😱The horse on the first floor of that stable is going to get a surprise when they open the lower half of it's stable door😄

Just light enough to see sight of Montrose Basin this morning. Quite cold though...

Still not light enough for the basin yet, but the @caledoniansleeper.bsky.social sleeper had a different loco this morning. GBRF 66739 the Bluebell Railway.
