Some #photos from my husband's Saturday afternoon #walk near our home in eastern #Dundee, #Scotland. #Photography #Countryside #Wildlife #Flowers #RailwayHistory #Viaducts #BroughtyFerry #Monifieth #Angus #Birds #Birding #BirdPhotography #BirdingPhotography #Birdstodon #Orchids #Whitethroats #Whitethroat #Blackbird #Blackbirds #Nature

An old stone viaduct peeking out among masses of trees and bushes. Only one main arch can be seen, with a second arch hidden behind a sprawling green tree on the right. At the left dark trees rise up, also covering the viaduct. Below it is a grassy meadow area. A tarmac path runs under the viaduct over to the right.

A northern marsh orchid. It is a mass of purple/pink big flowers on top of a thick green stem. The flowers are huge, with different shades and details of purple and white.

A whitethroat bird perched on a branch running up diagonally left in the picture. Its feet are spread out and it is facing to the left, with its beak wide open, chirping away. It has a light brownish back and wings, a light grey tummy, light greyish brown back of the head, black stripes on the top of its head, and a white fluffy and slightly black in places furry ruff under its beak and chin area.

A male blackbird preening itself on top of a wooden fence with plants growing up behind. It is perched facing to the left, with its left wing raised, and its neck and head tilted, as it carefully preens itself. It has a very curious expression on its face, and is extremely fluffy looking. It has a bright yellow beak, and a lot of variation in colour can be seen in its feathers and plumage.
