Fowlsheugh

Recently we visited the RSPB reserve at Fowlsheugh.

There was a good variety of seabirds to be seen.

 

 guillemot

 

 razorbill and guillemot

 

 kittiwake

 

The cliffs were full of nesting birds.

 



We saw a solitary puffin.

 

The sea pinks were just getting past their best.

 

 

We saw an advert for an RSPB boat trip while we were there and booked it, thinking that getting a view of the reserve from the sea would be a great experience. More of that later...

Fowlsheugh

Back in the summer holidays (which feels like a loooong time ago now) we visited Fowlsheugh, hoping to see puffins. There were some puffins, though you don't get nearly as close to them as you do some other places I've been. There was plenty to see though - other birds and wildlife and great scenery too.

A lovely bird hide.

Kittiwakes.

Razorbill.

More kittiwakes.

Catterline lighthouse.

Well worth another visit.
