Crag and tail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (240 words)
The Abbey Craig, a crag with tail near The University of Stirling.
Crags are formed when a glacier or ice-sheet passes over an area that contains a particularly resilient chunk of rock (often a granite plug or other volcanic structure).
Frequently the crag serves as a partial shelter to softer material in the wake of the glacier, which remains as a gradual fan or ridge forming a tapered ramp (called the tail) up the leeward side of the crag.
Crag Martin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (169 words)
The Crag Martin, Ptyonoprogne rupestris, is a small passerine bird in the swallow family.
Crag Martins are somewhat similar in habits and appearance to the other aerial insectivores, such as the related swallows and the unrelated swifts (order Apodiformes).
Crag Martins build neat quarter-sphere nests lined with mud collected in their beaks, and lay 3-5 eggs.
