Arbroath Cliffs, still a few nesting sea birds around

Although most sea birds have already fledged their young there are still a few Fulmars and Kittiwakes with chicks at Arbroath Cliffs and at Whiting Ness nearby a variety of waders more easily seen before or after the high tide. A Tern roost also at the Ness had around 140 Sandwich Terns and a few Common Terns and on the Steeple Rock were eighty Curlew.

The House Martins still haven't fledged and today it looked like they might but all three (or are there more) were still in the nest at dusk.
