We also saw a good number of birds, though the tide was so far out that some of them were too far away to identify. We did however get good looks at: lapwing, oystercatcher, curlew, bar tailed godwit, dunlin, redshank and shelduck.

ReplyDeleteMy but the tide IS out! Clamming and oysterint there? Don't see any one out there.
ReplyDeleteThat sculpture is awesome (and what a place to put it!).
ReplyDeleteLovely light, Juliet ... and no snow? It's bitter here.
ReplyDeleteI love Crammond. It must have been freezing when you were there. Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeletethis is a great scene. i love how the sculpture just looks like the remains of some forsaken civilization out there on its own.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great place for birds. The sculpture is neat, too. Thanks for making the photo large so I could get a really good look at it.
ReplyDeleteYour tides do disappear into the distance.
ReplyDeleteNice shot too.
Very interesting sculpture and the shadow is perfect :)

It seems that the fish has landed at high tide, and failed to ride the tide back out. The oystercatcher, curlew, bar tailed godwit and dunlin have such interesting and long bill, we are assured that these bills will find them all a tasty meal at the cold but sunny beach...
ReplyDeleteGreat shot for the day, Juliet! Love the sculpture and what a great place for it!! Love the blue skies and I'm glad you had a great day! Enjoy your weekend!

That is an incredible sculpture, I like it very much. Nice late-day shadow to enhance the tail.

ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to figure out the fish, but the shoreline is wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy shadow shots
Awesome shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous sculpture - so many many years since I went to Cramond.
ReplyDeleteOh what a cool sculpture - we love that it is there on the beach...so much better than a concrete walk or museum! Enjoy your weekend Juliet!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely beautiful shot of a wonderful sculpture. So nice to have it right there near the water too.
