Crawton Cliffs and waterfall

Crawton Cliffs and waterfall
A wonderful side-trip brings us to these cliffs, south of Aberdeen. The spectacular cliffs at Fowlsheugh Nature reserve are packed with more than 130,000 breeding seabirds during the spring and summer months. These include guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes, along with some puffins and fulmars too.
You see here, only a tiny part of these cliffs.

Better full screen!

The waters around Britain are always cold. Up here in North East Scotland it is even colder. And here, dangerous too.

Yes the waves around here can be pretty powerful but moreso on Scotland's Western Atlantic shores. Glad you liked it.

A good shot Herb'... The birds in the 'pip' give a clearer scale to the fall... which is much taller than it appears in the main picture...
Cheers from... Dave.

Thanks Dave, very happy that you liked this one. Yes, showing the scale was one of the reasons I included the waterfall closeup too. Some more from around here shortly.

Good that you have enjoyed this pair Daniela. I have now put on some of the birds we saw here too. I think you have different birds nevertheless near your home.

A great perspective Herb. This image really shows the power of the sea as the waves come through the gap onto the cliffs. The waterfall almost pales into insignificance, beautiful though it is. What amazes me is throughout it all, sea birds nonchalantly continue to nest on the vertical cliff walls and float around on the surface of the sea.............and incredible sight and superbly photographed.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Another considered comment from you Keith. You voice, so many times, exactly what I think as I snap such views. I will post at least another cliff view to demonstrate more fully how many birds were there. A great place to explore and share our fabulous coastline.

Best Wishes, Herb

A spectacular gorge and wave action, with the waterfall an unusual bonus. As Keith notes, the birds seem totally unconcerned about the wave action. Great images.

Thanks George. To the left was a small cave into the wall too. The birds thrive here -they must love this splashing water.

Cheers, Herb

Wow! Your picture shows the great power of the water as it reaches the sea!
The PiP gives us a real idea of how high it is! Superb shots Herb.
Regards, Rosa.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thanks Rosa. Ipernities PiPs do really good at showing or pinpointing a part of the picture for closer viewing. From where I was standing, the waterfall seemed a good 30ft high if not more. I have some with a rainbow effect too but looking blurred somehow. Glad you liked it all.

Cheers, Herb
