Photography Group trip to Waulkmill - 11th August 2025
by Tim Wright - 21:21 on 13 August 2025
Ten of us met at the toilet block at Waulkmill today. The weather was very warm with no wind and no rain. Some of the party went down to the beach via the path opposite the parking place. The tide was creeping in quite fast but they managed to get onto the sand and along to the top of the beach. The other half went up the road to get to the beach by the upper cliff path. There were lots of flowers such as Honeysuckle, Sow Thistles, Mouse Ear Hawkweed and Scabious among others. Walking along the beach there were hundreds of Worm Casts as well as two washed up Jellyfish. The Burn from Kirbister had lots of Green weed with long tendrils waving in the current. Then we went along the Salt Marsh with it's odd little Lochans that are almost a Maze in some places. Some Ring Plover were roosting further up the Burn. Brian spotted an as yet unidentified bird feeding in on of the lochans. Judging by where the seaweed had been deposited there had some very high tides recently. Then it was back to the cars at a gentle pace before we headed to Tom's for Coffee and cake plus homemade short bread. Thank you very much indeed Tom for that.
Discussion on the next project produced "Transport " as the theme Plenty of possibilities there I think. Five photos on that theme to David and five photos to me from today's outing. The closing date will be September 29th.
The next meeting will be the trip to Grantown on Spey leaving Stromness at 9am on Sunday 14 th September.
