You use all your senses on a visit to the sea cliffs round the Bullers of Buchan.  You can certainly hear the calling of the gulls and the other sea birds as well as see them swirling or perching on the ledges.  You can certainly smell the guano.  You need your balance on the narrow paths, and use your touch to grab onto the rocks.  Perhaps you don’t use your sense of taste, but let’s pass over that one.

I really love the picture I took of Lily looking out over the view to the  Longhaven cliffs.   I was trying to get the dogs to sit and look at me on the cliff edge, to add a foreground interest to the picture.   But they were too interested in looking out themselves and when I called them to turn round, obedient dogs that they are, they came right up to me.  I just managed a quick picture of Lily before she ran to me.   I love the way the wind is catching her ear.  I have entitled it, Listening to the view!

As for Poppy, she is so quick, all I managed of her was half a dog bounding towards me.

There were too many people about, watching birds, walking dogs, and enjoying the sunny day for me to try any bird photography which needs time and patience.   I had to watch the dogs too carefully for that.  There certainly are plenty birds to photograph, and they will wait for another day.
