Culbin sands Nature Reserve.

Guests staying at Aspenwood Cottage the other week enjoyed a day out at Culbin Sands RSPB Nature Reserve, about 1.5 miles east of Nairn and situated between Nairn and Findhorn Bay on the east coast.
Overlooking the Moray Firth this Nature Reserve has one of the largest shingle and sand dune bars in Britain which shelters an extensive saltmarsh. Much of the reserve is remote and undisturbed.
Take a gentle stroll along the sands or sunbathe by the sandy cliffs watching the sand martins nesting in spring. Bar-tailed godwits, oystercatchers and knots flock at high tide. Large numbers of seaducks can be seen offshore in the winter months. Whatever the season there is a wide variety of different species to see at Culbin Sands Nature Reserve.
Thanks to Barbara and Steve for kindly sending these photos for others to see.
