Description
Elliot Burn is an extensive sandy beach just south of Arbroath with dunes, lagoon, marsh, and reedbeds. The area is good for gulls, especially Малая чайка in late summer, also Розовая крачка then. Also divers, waders, seaducks, auks, migrants and occasionally an otter. Bottlenose dolphins can be seen offshore. The marsh is good for Бекас and Гаршнеп in winter.
