Opis
Girdleness is a great place to find certain seabirds and coastal species. The two breakwaters/piers are great for finding resting gulls as well as kormoran and kormoran czubaty. The rocks on the coast at Greyhope bay are good for edredon and sieweczka obrożna. The tall grass and bushes that litter the island are great for breeding cierniówka, skowronek and świergotek łąkowy. The reedbeds down at St Fittick's park often holds potrzos and, in winter, is the roost for many kszyk and bekasik. Waders often turn up on the rocks or piers.
Good winds can attract rare passerines such as podróżniczek and others. Pierwiosnek syberyjski is sometimes found in winter around the new harbour, near St Fittick's park. There is a car park at Torry Battery where there is also a cafe with benches and seats inside. There is a lighthouse at the point as well as an old foghorn, which is where the best seawatching is. lodówka is found in winter out to sea and głuptak is often seen flying past.

Girdleness is located southeast of the Aberdeen city centre. Access the site from St Fittick's Road in the south. The road goes round the lighthouse (where a car park is nearby) and back to Torry Battery, with two more car parks. Click on a P in the map for directions to a car park. The biggest car park is at the lighthouse. Car parks are never full. Good site for a morning of birding. The nearest bus stop is on St Fittick's Road. Accessible by bike and on foot. Most paths are not suitable for wheelchair users. St Fittick's park is mostly concrete paths. A telescope is useful if you are planning to scan through gulls or do some seawatching.
