Seagulls, Front Bay
Seagulls, Front Bay
The rocky point is at the foot of Craigengour (creag an gabhair - the goats crag) and separates Front Bay from Monreith Bay. The gulls were feeding in the heavy surf, and every time a breaker rolled in they rose up in a Mexican wave, settling back on the water after it passed to feed for another few seconds until the next one arrived.
