Point of Ironhill

Quarryhead from the Point of Ironhill

Another glorious Indian Summer of a day, the braes down to the shore from Braco Park were made steeper by the temperature, 22.5c at 10.30 a.m.. Grey Granite and Rufus crossed the Pouk and walked on to the Point of Ironhill where they spent some time watching the seabirds, eiders, cormorants, gannets, assorted gulls, and on the rocks oystercatchers and curlews. We noted that there are very few wild flowers on the cliff tops now but that the thrift is having a sparse second flowering and gorse bushes have small patches of flowers

A creel boat lifting creels near the Pouk, optimistic gulls followed the boat.
