Dritfwood at Spey Bay A large piece of driftwood beside the golf course at Spey Bay. It looks as if there has been some mechanical intervention on the shingle bank, perhaps an attempt to delay the encroachment of the sea on the golf course.

RAF Dallachy Strike Wing Memorial The memorial commemorates the aircrew who trained and served at RAF Dallachy during the Second World War. Construction began in 1942, and at first the airfield was used to train aircrew on multi-engined aircraft. From September 1944 Dallachy was the base for Beaufighter squadrons engaged in attacking enemy shipping in the North Sea and on the west coast of Norway. [<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3191649">NJ3563 : RAF Dallachy Strike Wing</a> is the main panel on the monument and <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3191650">NJ3563 : RAF 14 (Pilot) Advanced Flying Unit</a> is on the plinth to the left of the main panel. The other plinth carries an information board giving a brief history of RAF Dallachy.

Broken Scots Pine The break is very fresh, so this tree was presumably damaged by Storm Arwen last month. It's not obvious from this angle, but the broken top of the tree has been blown several metres from the remains of the trunk before being caught in the fence.
