Description
I was amazed to see that the harbour at low tide is a popular roosting area for autumn migrant flocks of Altın yağmurcun and Küçük sumru. Large numbers of küçük alk, Küçük martı, Büyük Korsanmartı, Korsanmartı, Uzunkuyruklu korsanmartı, Atlantik Yelkovanı, kül rengi yelkovan, Karaayaklı martı and Kutup Fırtınakuşu 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 Sarıkaşlı çıvgın, Sarı mukallit, Küçük sinekkapan and Çizgili ötleğen may turn up in autumn.
Cliffs can be steep, take care with children and dogs. There is a tarmac path.
