Dumbarnie Links - Dune Stabilisation

On Sunday we parked at Shell Bay and walked to Dumbarnie Links from East to West. We normally walk from Lower Largo. We passed a dune stabilisation area, which we hadn't seen before.

The fencing traps the sand and allows plants to re-establish.

Cormorant - Characteristic Pose

Cormorant drying its wings on the rocks opposite Lower Largo pier.

Fungi -Inkcaps

Two different inkcap fungi growing very close together at the side of the path at the top of the Massney Braes in Lundin Links- above I think is the Common Inkcap and below the Shaggy Inkcap.

Storm Damage

An early Autumn storm has caused considerable damage to the pier at Lower Largo and to the boats in the harbour.

Who's Looking At You?

Two calves in the field in front of the ruins of Largo House. I think they'd spotted us walking along the road and they obligingly posed for their photo.

Fungi - Serpentine Walk

Fungi, possibly honey fungus (Armillaria mellea) at the base of a very large beech tree in the Serpentine Walk.

A diseased part of the trunk of the same beech tree. The pinkish coloured growth is possibly a canker.

Large saucer sized fungi growing in the grass in the Serpentine Walk. Could possibly be Brown roll-rim (Paxillus involutus).

Activity in Largo Bay

Barges and tugs move towering platforms from Methil.
