I will never forget the holiday in Coldingham in the Scottish Borders as nearby was St Abbs a quaint fishing village and St Abbs Nature Reserve. St Abbs is on the east coast of Scotland serves as a centre for underwater diving due to its clear waters. We were lucky for as we arrived in the village so did two divers and they were sorting out all their equipment and not only that they practically gave us a running commentary! To the north of the village is St Abbs Head Nature Reserve with a large colony of seabirds.
We went as near to the edge as we dare but my husband decided to take a photo of us watching the seabirds....just an excuse really so that he could stay further away from the edge.
The cliffs are inhabited by large colonies of guillemots, kittiwakes, fulmars and razorbills, to be honest I do not know which is which but it was marvellous to see all the seabirds nesting and to be so near to them but they did make a lot of noise!
We went on a boat trip too and I am so glad that we did for the coastline was stunning and seabirds that can be found there include Kittiwakes, fulmars, quillemotes, razorbills, shags and puffins. The coastline of cliffs and narrow gullies was really beautiful and we were so amazed at the number of seabirds flying around, there were thousands!
