Descripción
Hound Point is a prominent cape jutting into the estuary of the Firth of Forth. The headland forms a natural viewpoint over the Forth, with steep wooded slopes behind it and tidal rocks below. A public coastal path runs right past it. Hound Point is a good place to observe the migration of seabirds. Easterly and northerly winds are usually most productive. The site is well known for spotting skuas, especially during summer and autumn. Págalo Parásito are seen most regularly, but Págalo Pomarino, Págalo Rabero and Págalo Grande can also be spotted. Other migratings seabirds that can be observed include Alcatraz Atlántico, Gaviota Tridáctila, Colimbo Chico, Gaviota Enana and Gaviota de Sabine.
Other birds you can see in the area are Alca Común, Arao Común, Cormorán Moñudo, Tarro Blanco, Éider común, Serreta Grande, Serreta Mediana, Ostrero Euroasiático, Zarapito Real, Aguja Colipinta, Archibebe Común and Vuelvepiedras Común. Cetaceans are seen occasionally at this site, mostly Harbour Porpoises, and more rarely Bottlenose Dolphins.
