I just received this drone photo of Kilminning from Harry Bell. Puts it all into perspective. This will be what the waders see as they fly over Fife Ness now. Hopefully it will tempt them down. From this angle and without the vegetation yet it looks a lot like an African dry season water hole. This is just the kind of muddy pool where you find a whole range of waders such as wood sandpipers, little or temmincks stints, little ringed plovers, greenshanks, ruff and so on all over Africa. There would also be a hippo and a corcodile or two – but I suspect that is being a little optimistic for the East Neuk.
