North from Victoria Park in Arbroath on the Arbroath Cliffs and Seaton Cliffs trails to De'il's Head and back, passing by gull nesting cliffs near Dickmont's Den (which reminded me of a small fjord). Lots of juveniles on the cliffs. Not sure what type of gull.
Also saw some slightly larger brown-gray gulls--some kind of skua(?) (arctic or great skua)-- and a reed bunting with a very green caterpillar in its beak. Lots of wildflowers in bloom (many thistles).
No dolphins or whales, but we did see a three-masted ship heading north along the shore.
Dipped our hands in the North Sea at a ramp down to the rocky beach which hadn't been underwater when we started. A yellow-legged gull with bands on its legs stood sentry at the top of the ramp, both before and after our hike.
Track is funky near the cliff at the beginning of the hike (we went down to the rocks to see if there was any interesting tide pool activity but only saw limpets).
