Crovie car park to Gardenstown
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2020 9:59 am
Had intended just to get up early to get some sunrise photos (if conditions permitted). Was a wee bit late for that but did manage a bonus short walk/jog before the rain started.
Stopped off at Banff for (just past) the sunrise.
As a first shower arrives I get back in the car and decide to head for the Crovie car park.
Just south of Gardenstown.
The road to Crovie and to the car park on the cliff top.
View of Crovie Head and Crovie from car park.
Someone has sensibly cut a gap in the fence so that you can avoid the previously precarious pole dance around the end (though non-lazy people were still able to loop round to the proper start.
The way ahead.
More Head to the west.
St John's Church overlooking Gamrie Bay.
Gardenstown (striclty speaking Seatown I suppose)..
Two thirds of the way back to the car I made friend or they were possibly warning me off. I think this is a stonechat but whoever a pleasure to see.
If this is a stonechat then what surprised me was the tweets in between the chats but YouTube tells me this is the normal stonechat song.
Off to a new roost.
Not five feet away from me now.
Back onto the bushes.
And back onto the fence.
