Moray Meander (II)

After Lossiemouth we continued along to Burghead where the sun continued to shine. In such glorious weather, the resident Long-tailed Ducks were out at sea, rather than in the harbour - nice to see. After that a walk out at Roseisle, where we had a splendid ten minutes as a flock of Crested Tits, accompanied by a Crossbill, flew around in the pines infront of us. 

The Moray Firth.

Burghead.

In the harbour: Triassic sandstone  (240 million years old) - deposited by an ancient river system.  

...layers of sands and gravels within the deposit. 

Knot.

Walking through the pines at Roseisle.

You'll have to take my word for it that there are Crested Tits and a Crossbill in the photo! 

Late afternoon light as we walked back ...tank traps on the beach.
