Sun, Sea and Sand

It was a perfect summer day today and we had a trip to North Berwick. There was quite a breeze and the water was quite wild, though it sparkled in the sun when it wasn't crashing over the rocks.

The Bass Rock was white with nesting gannets and the air around it was a cloud of flying and diving gannets.

There was a raft of over 50 eider ducks and we also saw redshanks and a couple of terns (probably common terns). Sand martins were swooping over the beach and we saw them going into and coming out of nest holes in the sandy cliffs.
