Decided to take a look at the damage the big tides combined with the strong winds is doing to the coastal path East of West Wemyss this afternoon, the image was taken one hour before the high tide today and it wasn't far from the path at that time. The path was negotiable before the "beast".
I wonder how long it's going to take for the way to be unpassable during future large tides as erosion continues to do it's worst. The difference in the level of the beach now compared to when the pit's were active is considerable. There are rock formations exposed now that haven't been seen in many decades.
There were over a dozen song thrush and twice as much fieldfares along with a few meadow pipits taking advantage of the snow free area's between the beach and the cliff face just past the village, some were sucessful at least judging by the amount of empty snail shells found.
