Coastal Path

Section of Fife Coastal Path leading along the coast from the end of East Sands. Can be good in Autumn (October best) for observing migrating flocks of Pink-footed and Barnacle Geese, along with Whooper Swans. The rocks hold a mix of gulls and waders, and this is often a good site for Greenshank. In the winter, Great-crested Grebes are often seen offshore, with other waterbirds including Red-throated Divers possible. Passerines present include Skylark and Yellowhammer.
