Rock Moving, Kirkcaldy Promenade

I haven’t posted any photos of the works at Kirkcaldy Prom recently. Either the wind has been too high and we didn’t fancy a walk along the prom or the tide has been in when we’ve been down there.

These are from about a month ago when they were moving rocks along the sea front.

Truck moving north along sea shore.

Progress on Kirkcaldy Promenade

New sea wall; photo taken by poking the camera through a fence:- Taken on November 27th

A gap in the new sea wall. I presume there will be access to the shore from here when it’s all done:-

Trench digging, presumably to provide better seating for the stones:-

Pneumatic drilling to demolish an old concrete groyne:-

Drilling again – from other side of groyne. Nice clouds of dust!:-

Nice Old Car

This was in Kirkcaldy High Street on November 9th. I think it might have been a Rolls Royce, but I’m no expert on cars.

Heron in Beveridge Park, Kirkcaldy (ii)

Perched on an overhanging bough just off the island on 2/11/13.

More Autumn in the Park

Looking uphill. Almost no part of the path through the park was uncovered by leaves here.

More of the swans. Leaves well on the turn behind:-

Kirkcaldy Promenade 24/10/13

Since I last posted about this there seems to have been little new work done at the north end or centre of the prom. This is more or less the same view as last time but the tide was out when I took this.

Autumnal Swans

In Beveridge Park, Kirkcaldy, 20/10/13. Trees beginning to turn, leaves afall.

For a few weeks now I’ve only seen three of the surviving five cygnets. Perhaps the other two matured early and flew (or were driven) off.

Promenade Works Again

The northernmost aspect on 16/10/2013. Tide in, no work being carried out.

Heron in Beveridge Park, Kirkcaldy (i)

We saw a heron in the park a week or so ago but had no camera on us at the time. It wasn’t there the last time we went round but today….

I took this from across the pond in case it took off.

No worries. This was taken from the boating jetty. Much closer view.

More Kirkcaldy Promenade

These are the works at the southern end of Kirkcaldy promenade. It’s difficult to photograph as the prom has been blocked off. I had to balance the camera on top of a fence to get this. You can just about make out parts of the new sea wall below the crane.

Sections of the new sea wall ready for positioning. Behind them at the right it looks like rubble – possibly from the old sea wall.

This view back towards the south shows some rocks have been placed in the sea here too. Also the crane as before and the new sections of sea-wall to the right on the grass.
