I love this view but photographing it is always a little unnerving. In order to get the full view without any of the grass in the foreground, you really do need to get right to the edge of the cliff. This particular day it was more scary than usual as the winds were strong and the seas very active. For the briefest of moments, the sun broke the clouds and cast some wonderfully atmospheric low but strong light on the scene so I quickly adjusted my settings to compensate and get the shot in the bag. This is the coastline of Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.
The cliff swallows are abundant in this area. The swallows use mud to build these nests on the sides of the rock formations, then lay eggs and rear their young inside. They are active flyers, prolific bug consumers, and have amazing flying skills.
We spent a wonderful three hours walking along the cliffs. We started at Longhaven and finished at Slains Castle.

An eastbound Santa Fe manifest, led by a GP30 and a half-dozen GP35’s, passes two Southern Pacific SD9’s on a work train at Cliff. Caliente is visible over the cab of the lead unit. All of the GP30’s and GP35’s running on the Santa Fe at that time took me back to my days watching the Reading Company a decade earlier. Those two models were the backbone of the Reading’s second-generation road power. I checked an old calendar, and this was taken on a Thursday.
A series of images captured at RSPB Bempton Cliffs Yorkshire. A true haven for nesting Gannets and Puffins with the cliff faces heavily populated with nesting pairs. Several of the nests containing young but at this stage a little early to fledge. A really great day out and worth a visit to support the RSPB and take some great photographs.

Good light allows us to see the details.
A quote from Cornell Labs:
Most Cliff Swallows in North America have whitish foreheads; however, birds from the Mexican population (which extends into the southwest U.S.) have dark chestnut foreheads.
