Bempton Cliffs - 1st November 2024

 

Short-eared Owl

A rare event! An afternoon visit to Bempton Cliffs! I had arranged to meet up with fellow Sony RX10 user Paul Vernon for an afternoon visit to the cliffs. I have to say that it was not scary at all! I was even very pleasant to the volunteers and staff that I met 😇.

I might even try it again!

Thank you for looking.

What a beautiful start to the day, a delightful autumnal morning, gosh! is it really 1st November? Our walk through the villages this morning, looking for inspiration! Also known as our "pond to pond" walk.

Scarborough Harbour - 30th October 2024

 

The Reverend had church business in Scarborough this morning, giving me and Symphony the opportunity of having a wander around the harbour area. Very quiet bird wise with only a couple of Red Throated Divers, at a distance in the bay, an even more distant Goldeneye, and a solitary Redshank. Good job I get a buzz out of landscapes! 😇

We decided to take a seat on the harbourside while waiting for the Reverend, and Symphony was enjoying being fussed by a couple sitting next to us. All of a sudden, people started taking photos around us! Did they suddenly realise how famous we were 😇? No! I turned to look behind and there was a Barn Owl staring at me! An owl rescue group was setting up a display. I have to say that the two Barn Owls, Snowy Owl and Bengali Eagle Owl were far more aesthetically pleasing than the Herring Gulls that mysteriously scarpered!
