Descrição
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. Moleiro-parasítico are seen most regularly, but Moleiro-pomarino, Moleiro-de-cauda-comprida and Moleiro-grande can also be spotted. Other migratings seabirds that can be observed include Ganso-patola, Gaivota-tridáctila, Mobêlha-pequena, Gaivota-pequena and Gaivota de Sabine.
Other birds you can see in the area are Torda-mergulheira, Arau-comum, Corvo-marinho-de-crista, Pato-branco, Eider-edredão, Merganso-grande, Merganso-de-poupa, Ostraceiro, Maçarico-real, Fuselo, Perna-vermelha-comum and Rola-do-mar. Cetaceans are seen occasionally at this site, mostly Harbour Porpoises, and more rarely Bottlenose Dolphins.
