Rainy walk over St. Abbs Head, Scotland, ending with Yellowhammer on the path on way back to St. Abbs - 16th June 2022

It was dry when I set off for a walk over St. Abbs Head in Scotland

The village of St. Abbs is in the distance

Guillemots on the rocks - by now it was raining!

Lighthouse and foghorn at the top of the cliff

I walked up via the cliff path, which would have been too treacherous for me to go down in the rain as there were lots of uneven steps in the rock, and was happy to see that there was a road on the other side of the cliff - so that's the way I went back!

I was glad I walked back on the road as I met this lovely Yellowhammer there! 

Birds, flowers and the coastal landscape during my first evening and next morning's wander around and near Berwick Holiday Park - 14th/15th June 2024

I arrived in Berwick-upon-Tweed on Friday afternoon and, after I had settled into the mobile home and had something to eat, I went for a walk along the coastal path at the edge of the park.

Some people were lucky enough to afford to be positioned on the cliff-top with a view of the sea

A Rock Pipit was perching on the fence and singing so much that it did not notice me!

For a moment, a distant fishing boat was lit up by the late evening sun

I love Foxgloves - growing in the same area on the way into town
