South Queensferry - A Short Visit

 We were out and about on Thursday running some errands and were passing Queensferry and decided to drop in for the first time. We bought a snack from the Co-op and had 20 minutes by the Marina.

This was the first time since moving up that we had been to South Queensferry, obviously seen it many times when crossing the bridge, thinking that looks good, but usually we are always on our way somewhere and never get the chance.

It does offer a unique view of the new and old bridges:

The birding wasn't bad either, bearing in mind we weren't there long!

Black-headed Gull

One of two Wheatear,

There were lots of Guillemot in the harbour and marina,

as well as Herring Gulls of course.

In addition Sandwich Tern, Lesser Black-backed Gulls (of course!), Oystercatchers, Pied Wagtail and Starlings.
