Description
I was amazed to see that the harbour at low tide is a popular roosting area for autumn migrant flocks of zlata prosenka and mala čigra. Large numbers of rakovičar, mali galeb, velika govnačka, bodičasta govnačka, dolgorepa govnačka, atlantski viharnik, črni viharnik, triprsti galeb and ledni viharnik can be seen from the clifftop walk east of town.
Beyond the Seaton Cliffs reserve, 3 miles on foot from Arbroath, is Seaton Den, a wooded valley frequented by migrant passerines. Rarities like mušja listnica, rumeni vrtnik, mali muhar and pisana penica may turn up in autumn.
Cliffs can be steep, take care with children and dogs. There is a tarmac path.
