Crail Graveyard MemorialPark

The gate to the Memorial Park has been broken off as can beseen in the picture above. Crail Matters understands that theCommunity Council will try to repair it, although the gate de-sign is probably not appropriate and a replacement rather thanrepair would be more effective. It is though the damage wascaused by children swinging on it.

Waste Bins Castle StreetA reader has sent in the photograph below of the waste bins atCastle Street. There are two bags of rubbish and two bags ofdog faeces lying next to the waste bins. A complaint has beenmade to Fife Council: some has now been removed withthanks to Cllr Docherty.

Damaged bench at Roome BayUnfortunately another bench has been damaged at Roome Bay. Thebench commemorates the Collins family; if anyone knows the fam-ily, please inform them - theymay wish to attend to it. FifeCouncil have confirmed thatupkeep is the responsibilityof owners. It is strongly rec-ommended to replace oldbenches with modern plastic

types that appear to be very weather and time resistant. An example is shown. A replace-ment bench will cost £416.69 reusing the old plaque, rising to £486.81 for a new plaque.No charge is made for Council time to fix the bench.

Summer HolidaysEveryone looks forward to summer holidays, and the Editorial Team at Crail Matters is no exception. There will be no publi-cation of Crail Matters on 28 August and 4 September. All copy to appear in the issue 21 August should be received by mid-

day 18 August. Any copy received after then will appear in the next issue 11 September. Happy holiday!

The cows will not be cominghome next year!

Volunteers at Crail Museum were dismayed to find that dam-age had been done to the painting of the Highland Cattle whichhangs in the Town Hall. Each year the Crail Museum paintingsare removed from the Town Hall to facilitate hanging the paint-ings for the Crail Festival Art Exhibition. We found the paint-ing of the cattle had a 1 ½ – 2 inch tear in the canvas whichwill need to be repaired before it can be rehung. Photo withinset of damage (enlarged) as seen from behind. The artist,Reginald Duncan lived in the Nethergate and died in 1909. Hewas just 24 years old.

WILD CRAILWill Cresswell,

with Photographs by John Anderson

I heard a distinctive descending two-note “choo-ip” call froma small wader as I cycled across Balcomie Beach on Saturdaythe 15th. A smaller ringed plover was following a larger one,both tailing a flock of sanderling flying away from me. Istopped and double-checked the absence of a wing bar of thesmaller plover – a little ringed plover. The much rarer sum-mer migrant version of a ringed plover that breeds inland andonly in small numbers in the UK. I have only ever seen onebefore around Crail, during the summer when there werefloods in lots of the fields creating perfect muddy pools formigrating waders. Little ringed plovers hardly ever turn upon the sea shore. They prefer inland muddy pools, althoughI have seen plenty in salt water pools close to the shore inEurope and Africa. And Balcomie Beach, and the othermuddy coves along the coast at low tide are the only waderoases in the desert of dry land that is the East Neuk. Littleringed plovers are, as the name suggests, smaller than com-mon ringed plovers – they are more slender with longerwings and a smaller more rounded head which accents theirsmaller size. This one was busy feeding. It is on its way tosub-Saharan Africa (although a Swedish bird was taggedgoing all the way to India and back, while its mate went toNigeria!) so needs to fuel up. Despite being disturbed initiallyby me and then by a series of coastal path walkers it keptcoming back to the muddy beach to feed, sometimes alonebut more often with the adult common ringed plover and thesanderlings. It was very inconspicuous though and I don’tthink I would have noticed it initially if it hadn’t called.

John Anderson didn’t find the little ringed plover later thatthe Saturday afternoon so he could take some photos so Iwent down to Balcomie Beach first thing the following Sun-day to help him refind it. No need, I found John crouched im-mobile 15 meters away from the bird. The tide was in butthere are a few muddy pools on the strandline and the littleringed plover was feeding there alone, with John in the back-ground having gradually crept closer over the last hour or so.I approached from the other side and got much better viewsthan the day before. It seemed much more settled. I was able

to see the pale fringes of the back feathers that juvenile birdshave and also its characteristic yellow eye ring (which ismuch more obvious in adults). Eventually it got fed up of ourclose proximity and moved up the beach, joining the dunlinand sanderling flock, which also had a slightly pinkish adultknot among them.

Just after it moved a sparrowhawk appeared being chased bya herring and black-headed gull and an oystercatcher. It wascarrying prey and at the time I thought it was one of the dun-lin from the flock further up the beach because I could see abit sticking straight out from its claws like a long bill. Johntook some photos as it passed and later I could see that it wascarrying a song bird, probably a rock pipit and it had eaten alot of it already. I suspect it was disturbed from feeding by agull trying to steal its prey. The sparrowhawk made a suc-cessful getaway disappearing over the golf course. There wasa kestrel hunting along the beach as well while I watched theplover – you can’t blame the birds of prey. Like me they aredrawn to the action and Balcomie Beach is full of small birds– the waders of course but also pied wagtails, rock pipits andlots of perfect dinner sized starlings.

On the way back via Fife Ness there was a flock of four com-mon sandpipers on the main roost rock and a juvenilewheatear on the golf course. There have been wheatearsalong the shore most days this week and another whinchattwo days ago – it really is worthwhile birding along this bitof shore at the moment.

I am not often at Balcomie Beach at sunset but I should be.Especially on a warm July evening like last Tuesday with itlooking like the Hebrides. And waders scurrying along thesand. The little ringed plover was still there, and feedingalong the tideline, mostly with the dunlin. Two or threewhimbrel flew over calling in between the flocks of oyster-catchers – one of the flocks had a juvenile shelduck withthem, not long independent. A local pair of shelduck has beensuccessful even if the Balcomie pair have not been – they

Toilets West Gate SouthThe Community Council have been informed that Fife Council will commence repairs to the fire damaged toilet commencing31 July. This will involve putting up fencing around the site, and as a temporary measures relocating both the litter bin and the

flower tubs. Thanks to Airds and Sons the very heavy tubs have been relocated nearby.

have been hanging around in a pair in the bays north of Bal-comie for the last couple of weeks with no signs of chicks.

There were 225+ dunlin on Balcomie Beach at lunchtimelast Wednesday the 19th, three ringed plovers, 20 or sosanderling and a few turnstone and redshank. The seaweedhas rotted to a dense black mulch, pitted now with beakholes. The seaweed fly maggots must be legion to sustainsuch numbers day after day. Although the little ringed ploverseemed to have moved on, the Mediterranean gull was stillfeeding with the black-headed gulls in the surf of RoomeBay at high tide. Its black hood is getting patchier every dayand is now speckled with white.

There were possibly even more dunlin on Balcomie Beachlast Thursday – maybe even 300. I stood talking to quietlyto someone for about 30 minutes as we watched them andby the end the dunlin, with turnstones and sanderling too,

were feeding less than15 meters away. It’sbeen such a highlightof July to be a part ofthis wader festival.More post-breedingflocks elsewhere – tensof goldfinches and lin-nets in the fields, andnow increasingly largeswallow flocks as thejuveniles of the yearstart banding together.

There will be no Wild Crail next week.

Dial Stone, Crail ChurchyardThe Dial Stone is an integral part of the oldest sections of Crail Church-yard, and has been referenced in church documents from the mid-1700s.It was used as a reference point for the positions of some of the oldestmemorials in the churchyard. Crail Churchyard walls and gravestonesare Category A Listed buildings.A few years ago the Dial Stone was moved to a new position in front ofCrail Church. We plan to move the Dial Stone back to its original posi-tion and can dothat approxi-mately from ref-erences inErskine Bev-eridge’s book onCrail Church-yard, published

in 1893. However it would help if we could confirm the position with pho-tographs of this particular part of the churchyard. The area concerned isfrequently used for photographs of wedding guests before or after CrailChurch weddings. You will see the general area in this photograph: it isto the left of the church entrance, as you look at the entrance.

I would like to thankyou all for electing meas Councillor for EastNeuk & Landward - Ilook forward to repre-senting you all.

I am sure I am not alone in admittingthat my attitude towards the police isgenerally one of avoidance. Perhapsit's watching too many cop shows, butcontact with the boys and girls in blueinvariably makes me a tad anxious, asI wonder what I might have donewrong.So I was very pleasantly surprised onTuesday when I joined other council-lors from north-east Fife for a specialbriefing at police headquarters inCupar. From the top brass down, theywere at pains to stress that their jobwas to keep people safe. The guidingprinciples which stuck in my mindwere Prevent, Intelligence and En-forcement - in that order. Their focus is firmly on preventingtrouble and possible crimes beingcommitted. They would far sooner bea reassuring presence at an event orplace where disorder might occur, orhave a quiet word with individualswho have been kicking over the tracesthan sit back and wait for crimes tohappen so that they can knab the per-petrators. Keeping people safe in thisway is what community policing is allabout.However, the police's work in prevent-ing trouble depends on intelligence,

which in turn depends on what peopletell them. For example, the local po-lice keep a register of local eventswhere issues with say traffic or drink-ing might arise so officers on duty thatweekend can keep a particular eye out.But that can't happen unless they aretold in advance about such events.Community police officers regularlyattend community council meetingswhere residents can meet them anddiscuss issues. But as the police toldus on Tuesday, there's precious littlethey can do about an incident if thecommunity police officer only hearsabout it weeks or days after it occurred- and then via a second or third-handcomment at a community councilmeeting. It also crucially does not getrecorded and entered into various logs.For many people, reporting relativelyminor things to the police goes againstthe grain - we don't want to get peopleinto trouble, we don't want to make afuss. But unless we do, our commu-nity police can't do their jobs. So themessage I finally got on Tuesday is: ifyou are aware of an incident which ispossibly against the law - whether it'santi-social behaviour, a possible hatecrime or a persistent traffic violation -report it. Sometimes people don't report thingsbecause they think it won't do anygood, and of course the police don'thave a magic wand. But they can't doanything at all if they don't knowabout a situation. If you have reported something and

you feel nothing has happened, youcan bring it to the attention of yourcommunity council, or more privately,to me or my fellow councillors, BillPorteous and John Docherty. A resi-dent recently contacted me because hewas dissatisfied with the police re-sponse to his situation, and I was ableto help improve things.Below are details of how to contactthe police if there is anything you havea concern about. In the meantime, docome to a Crail Community Councilmeeting and meet one of your localcommunity policewomen, Gillian Tet-low or Susie Martin. One always at-tends if she can, and she is the first tospeak so you don't have to stay for thewhole meeting if you don't want to.

HOW TO CONTACT THE PO-LICECall 101 to report initial matters ongo-ing or requiring police attendance(999 if an emergency). If the matter is more a local issuewhich may not amount to criminality,then there is a generic mailbox whichis checked daily (except Sundays)which is NOT for reporting crime:[email protected] about reporting a hate crimeor anti-social behaviour is also avail-able on the Fife Direct website underHate Crime - Help & Support.

The Art Exhibition is open for the complete CrailFestival exhibiting from local artists. It has allforms of art works for many tastes, textiles of Scot-tish origins and ceramic pieces from our local tal-ented artists. It would be you loss if you did notgo to the Town Hall and have a ponder.

Crail Festival is going along wonderfully this weekthrough next Saturday. We started off the weekwith children enjoying the "The BFG" movie at theKirk Hall. The evening was full of wonderfulmusic and energy by Horse and her opening group"The Coaltown Daisies" The audience was enter-tained by Horse and The Coaltown Daisies withtheir mountain high energy, wits and vocals. The

locals and visitors were so entertained that the energy in the room made for a very happy audience. If you have not heard Horseor The Coaltown Daisies please go the their FaceBook pages, follow their links to their websites and listen to their wonderful,powerful and soulful music.

Thursday brought the Festival 3 ZooLabs in which the children loved which was sold out. The Culture Cafe I at Julia's was agreat success. Food was great and John Denver's song amazing played by local artists. The children were taught Drama in theafternoon by Jacquie. Jacquie stated there is some talent around here. All the children had a wonderful time. Crail Folk Club30th Anniversary Concert was a packed Community Hall with Sheena Wellington, Adam McNaughton, The Sangsters andScalded Cats performing for the crowd. All who attended had a smashing time with the performance and Birthday cake. All leftquite happy.

Friday started with Beginner's Cake Decorating Class for adults. The children got their turn at 3pm with "Crail in Bloom" Bake-off Competition. The children ages 4 - 9 had a wonderful time decorated cupcakes (donated by Barnett's Bakery) with great en-thusiasm. To round out the day Michael Christian Durrant performed in the Holy Trinity Church to a sold out crowd. Michaelplays a classical guitar with such beauty. He played selections from Bach, Giuliani, Rodrigo, Debussy, Yocoh and Barrios to thefull Holy Trinity with such grace and beauty. All who attended were transported to a wonderful sense of Michael's talent andlove of classical music.

For future events please stop by the Box Office in the Town Hall for information and tickets.

Crail Preservation SocietyCrail Priory Doocot

After several years of planning and fund raising, Crail Preservation Society are delighted to announce that work will start on therenovation and restoration of the Crail Priory Doocot.

This 16th century A listed building is an important Crail landmark but has suffered over the years from damp penetration andgeneral deterioration.

Valuable and essential grant funding has been obtained from Historic Environment Scotland and Heritage Lottery Fund, andother grants are being sought from local Trusts and charities. We have also raised significant funds from our own resorces andthrough a grand raffle, held last year.

Plans for the work have been prepared by well known architects Simpson and Brown and their associated archaeology unit, Ad-dyman Archaeology. Locally based contractors have now been appointed. The work will involve repairing the existing roof,stripping off the existing harling and re-rendering, restoring the interior including the pigeonholes and the potence ladder andcreating a new improved access. The opportunity is also being taken to provide daytime access to the public throughout the yeartogether with lighting and information boards.

It is expected that the work will all be completed by the end of this year.

Remember it? Catchy, especially forthe kids, and I seem to remember thelovely Derek Nimmo had somethingto do with it too. My brood wouldpounce on them at treat time, huntingfor the green-wrapped ones (and whydid they do that when the chocolatelovelies inside the variously colouredwrappers were all the same? ...... sorry,I digress).

Anyway, I wondered if we could bor-row and corrupt this handy little catchphrase for our current times. Thesetimes of, thankfully, growing appreci-ation of what we are doing to our en-vironment. How about "Pick Up aPiece of Plastic'? All right, not so ex-citing and perhaps the kids wouldn'tgo overboard in quite the same waybut, with a dose of enthusiasm fromadults, it could be made to work.

In recent years, there have been arti-cles aplenty highlighting the state ofour seas. The 'i' (a daughter paper ofthe Independent) has been running aseries of articles highlighting theworld-wide problem of plastic in ourseas and in April Greenpeace launcheda research investigation using theirship 'Beluga II' which carried scien-tists around the coasts of Scotland tomonitor the microplastics present inour seas during two months, May andJune. We have such wonderful seaareas around the coasts of Scotlandbut these are far from immune fromthe contamination of plastic waste and

this is what the research ship's fact-finding tour was all about. Scientists tell us that 12 million tonnesof plastic enter the ocean every year,the equivalent of a rubbish truck'sworth every minute. We've probablyseen the photographs of plastic itemsfetching up on the shores of uninhab-ited islets or bobbing in giant floatingmats on the ocean's surface. These arethe same waters that are home to themarine environment that providesfood for a large proportion of theworld's population. Would we dumprubbish on to fields where cattle orsheep graze?

Why, in these days when no part of theworld is out of bounds to man's questfor travel and exploration, do we thinkrubbish dumped in the sea will magi-cally disappear; that it won't affect thelife of the myriad of species which de-pend on our oceans and seas for life?It is their home, they can't live any-where else. What's more, we needthem to be there. Take marine life outof the oceans and we suffer big time(let's just start with fish and chips).

Here in the East Neuk we are so in-credibly lucky to live by the sea, towatch its many faces, whether stormytempest or wide, blue calm, but it issuffering greatly through our verythoughtlessness. However, the greatthing about knowing about our mis-takes is that we can try to rectify them.And everyone can help with this mis-take.

So, next time you walk along a beach,here at home or away on holiday, keepin your mind the P.P.P ditty ..............and Pick Up a Piece of Plastic!

And, to borrow/corrupt yet anotherslogan "Our Seas Need You!

P.S: Have you seen the book by NickHayes ‘The Rime of the ModernMariner’? Based on Coleridge's fa-mous poem and published byJonathan Cape, this book sets out, ingraphic illustrative style, man's indif-ference to the plight of our oceans. It'sworth a look.

Commemorative Benches RoomeBayRoome Bay is of course a rather ex-posed area, and the wooden benchesthat have been erected to commemo-rate loved ones do show weathering.Some are maintained very well, butothers are very neglected, and regret-tably either break, or are broken. Ifyou know of a relative of those re-membered, or if you are such a rela-tive, could you please take steps ifpossible to keep the benches is a rea-sonable state. Alternatively, pleasecontact the Community Council whomay be able to help to identify a con-

tractor to do any work.Young CarersDealing with disability in a family isdifficult - but it is even more difficultfor young carers. As noted last week,a new Service is available in Fife forYoung Carers. A Young Carer is achild or young person under the age of18 years, whose life has been affectedby their significant caring role for afamily member who may suffer fromone of the following: Long Term ill-ness, Mental ill health, HIV/AIDS,Physical disability. Learning disabil-ity, Drug or Alcohol misuseBeing a Young Carer can be very

lonely. Often, time is so taken updoing tasks that there is no time forfriendships. Sometimes when parentshave illnesses such as HIV/AIDS,mental health illness or siblings whohave a learning disability it can lead tofeelings of isolation. Young Carersmay want to keep these things tothemselves for a number of reasons,perhaps being worried about bullying.

Fife Young Carers can help with ad-vice, support and information. If youneed to contact them phone 01592786717 and by email: [email protected]

The CrailSeagull

An eye on our world

I had a few jaunts up St Andrews Road recently, andhave flown over the now vacant Manse a few times. Itlooked very messy, but I see they’ve now tidied it up abit - at least cut the grass. I’d like to think the gardenhad been deliberately left as it was for us birds, but Ifear that might not be the case. Maybe they are goingto sell it, so can’t be bothered to maintain it. I wonderwhat its like inside.

Speaking of messy, the plant tubs on Nethergate lookdecidedly worse for wear, in contrast to Marketgate andHigh Street (High Street does look good - I didn’t men-tion it last week, and I should have). The Crail InBloom people do a good job.

The traffic in Crail seems quite bad at the moment, andpeople seem to be parking cars at points where theycause maximum disruption. One of my favourite placesis outside the chippie (lots of good pickings there fromthe bins) but sometimes its a bit scary having to leapout of the way of the big vehicles. I saw a car forcedonto the pavement by a huge tractor hurtling downHigh Street at great speed a few days ago. At least I canfly out of the way, but a child couldn’t.

Have you noticed that the mysterious Crail Chalker isactive again? I’m out and about in Crail a lot, but I’venever seen who he or she is. But I do see an awful lot

of dog mess around.

Here’s another mystery. I notice trees seem to be beingplanted - a couple at the Putting Green, and at least onein the Kirk Graveyard. But no-one seems to know whois doing it, and whoever is responsible for the placesthey are planted in don’t know anything about it either.It’s not strange to plant tree; indeed its a good thing.But it is strange to do it without telling anyone. Mindyou, doing things without telling anyone happens quitea lot in Crail - remember the abortive proposals to takeover Community Hall and Town Hall. You’ll never finda Seagull doing things on the quiet!!

My friendly swift in High Street tells me that the peti-tion to investigate whether the Raceway is actinglegally is gathering support. It will be interesting to seehow it develop - I see there’s a letter about it..

I was flying to Kingsbarns to catch up on the latestnews .... when I was approaching the community hallon Wednesday afternoon. Well what a ruckus comingfrom the humans down below!! It seems there wassome misunderstanding about who had use of the com-munity hall and when they could get into the hall.From my point of view it looked as if there was a greatmisunderstanding because the guys in the blue shirtswere there to help the other group. Why can't humansjust get along like us .... Seagulls???

It’s spreading - is it contagious? I see now one of mycousins in Dundee has stolen a MacDonalds burgersomeone was eating outside the restaurant. At least itwas discriminating - it left behind the lettuce andtomato.
