Cramond

Cramond Beach and the River Almond.

Good for all year round birdwatching but particularly early summer. Best time; two or three hours either side of high tide. Look out for waders roosting on Cramond Island. Range of species includes Waders, Gulls, Tits, Finches, Warblers, Kingfisher, Dipper, Grey Wagtail, Mute Swan, Mallard, Cormorant, Merganser. Good walking back to the city along the Forth riverside path.
