Sanderlings, Filey - 19th November 2024

 


Always a pleasure to see these extremely active, almost clockwork, little waders! Twenty three Sanderlings spent some time near the Coble Landing at Filey, before being disturbed.











Thank you for looking.

Filey - 18th - 20th November 2024

 

Filey Brigg from Carr Naze

Interesting times! We have obtained a small campervan and needed to try it out, so we booked into a local campsite at Filey for a couple of nights. We survived and everything worked which is a big plus point. However, we were certainly challenged by the weather, I think we had everything thrown at us - bright sunshine, rain, sleet, snow, very strong winds, freezing temperatures et.al.! We still managed to get in some decent walks around Filey.

















Does anyone else see a mystical beast carrying a mystical beast?






And finally, meet "Dora the Explorer", our campervan. The snowy scenes got progressively worse, creating a very challenging drive home!






Thank you for looking.

Bempton Sunrise - 16th November 2024

 

If you looked out of your windows this morning and it was raining or very cloudy, then you will have missed the full Beaver Moon (subject of another blog page) and a splendiferous sunrise! As I was up photographing the moon, I decided to have a wander around the village at an early hour in order to capture the sunrise. Symphony wasn't too keen though! I walked up Bolam Lane and along part of Bempton Lane before back tracking, through the village and onto Newsham Hill Lane. Not long after arriving home, the clouds really thickened, followed by a period of rain!















Thank you for looking.
