Late night news


I have some/many photos and maybe some videos to post, and I'll try to get them out on Thursday. I have a bird to track down first and some photos to tidy up or crop.

In the meantime, something from Wednesday and it's becoming a problem for me, you and society!

I can walk to Arbroath Cliffs in 15 minutes and have done so a few times recently, and it's good to see a few people out "exercising!

Today however, I met a couple and their 5 year old who had travelled up from Dunfermline for the day, and I had point out that  the Mum and her son were standing on an undercut cliff edge!
Also, two groups of young men, 3 teenage couples, they were holding hands, a few young lads who were the same age, and wait for it, 4 people in those dodgy open topped kayaks paddling along the cliffs. Some context here, I was a white-water kayaker and instructor for many years and I could see those people hadn't a clue and didn't have life-jackets.

How glad I was to meet 2 members of the Constabulary and relay my evidence to them. Listening to the Police has never been top of my list, but this time I was glad to speak to them and listened to the problems they are having with, well IDIOTS.

It's very sad that many people who are abiding with the "guidelines", staying indoors, becoming lonely, distressed and worried about their health and future, are effectively having their freedom and peace of mind delayed by a bunch of selfish clowns.

The good news was, the Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Razorbills, Shags, Skylarks are continuing as normal and some managed to get their photo taken, to some degree.

As I said, photos to come on Thursday. End of sermon (rant).
