We saw this goldcrest flitting about in the rowan tree in front of the visitor centre yesterday morning. ✨🍂 The goldcrest is Europe's smallest bird species, weighing a maximum of 6g, which is about the weight of a 20p!

Did you catch #OutOfDoors on BBC Radio Scotland this weekend? It featured a fascinating piece about monitoring mosquitoes at Montrose Basin Wildlife Reserve with UofG Vet. Listen now on BBC Sounds 📻 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

We're currently enjoying a beautiful sunset (accompanied by the sound of geese, curlews, and redshank) at the Montrose Basin Visitor Centre, which reminded us: it's nearly our winter opening hours! From 1st Nov we'll be open Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, 10:30am-4pm.

It's the last day of October, but the spectacle of seeing the geese at sunrise and sunset at Montrose Basin is still as magical as it was at the start of the month! From 1st Nov, the visitor centre will be open 4 days a week: Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, 10:30am-4pm.

Looking for counters and a local organiser for the Icelandic-breeding Goose Census in the Aberdeenshire region, especially for the Loch of Strathbeg key site. If you are interested, please visit app.bto.org/gsmp/public/va… to find a local vacant site near you. #GSMP_UK

The sun setting over Montrose Basin on our last evening before the 'winter hours' begin. 🥰 (Out of frame: ~20,000 pink-footed geese) 1st Nov - mid-Feb: Open Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, 10:30am-4pm

Discarded pumpkins can make wildlife, especially hedgehogs critically ill, causing severe diarrhoea and dehydration which can lead to death. Please see the post & thread below for more details and help spread the word to keep our wonderful wildlife safe - thank you! 🎃☠️🦔

A kingfisher having a morning bath at the dipping pond in front of the visitor centre this morning. ✨ We often see the kingfisher fishing in our brackish ponds, and in the Basin itself, so it needs to wash in freshwater occasionally to keep its feathers in top condition!

It's Wader Conservation World Watch this weekend! #WCWW24 #WCWW We're counting as many waders as we can this weekend for worldwide wader conservation! Here's our list so far, and our Wader Quest pins available to buy in our shop. 😍

There's still over 20,000 pink-footed geese roosting at Montrose Basin every evening. 🪿🩷

The second big Wetland Bird Survey goose count was on 10th November, and our volunteers counted...37,487 pink-footed geese! 🪿🪿🪿 This is a high number for this time of year, possibly reflecting the nice mild Autumn we've had so far.

Sound up for the thousands and thousands of geese descending on Montrose basin at low tide this afternoon.. after a day of feeding out and about they return to roost here overnight ♥️

We got the most magical view of the full moon (or the 'beaver moon') over Montrose this past weekend. We even got to watch it rising over the town through our telescopes, which picked up so much detail! 🌕🦫

Still no Jay's for #Thursjay so here's a recent Kingfisher from Montrose Basin Wildlife Reserve instead 😆 Have a good one folks 👍 #TwitterNatureCommunity #birdwatching #NatureTherapy

Spot the odd goose out. 🪿🔍 Wetland Bird Survey A snow goose has been spotted at Montrose Basin for the past few days. It was first seen roosting with the pink-footed geese last Friday, and has been seen most days since, roosting on the mudflats in the mornings.
