Three Fulmars were on the cliffs north of Arbroath first thing. Several Skylarks were singing over nearby fields and plenty of Linnets were in the dunes. Highlights of a fairly thorough look around the town itself were 20 Rooks in a row of pines (presumably an established colony),  two Buzzards soaring above the railway station and many Jackdaws, House Sparrows and Herring Gulls boding well for the coming breeding season. Lesser Celandine was in flower in a couple of places and the steam engine "Tornado" passed heading north.
