Post eclipse post

A brighter day in Collieston following a rather cloudy eclipse. A good movement of Kittiwake heading North seen mid-morning was notable. Otherwise it was a good sight to see displaying Long-tailed Duck and a number of groups of Red-breasted Merganser at high tide from the Inches Road in Newburgh mid-afternoon.
Last weekend the highlight was at least 2 Scandinavian Rock Pipit in among a flock of about 20 of that species in the Mains of Slains area.During the week there had been a small number of Goldcrests' in the Slains area as well.
The pictures below shows the brightest of these birds and maybe a more local bird at the bottom.
