Early one morning.........on Bempton Cliffs!


With another very warm day forecast, I decided to head up to the cliffs at 0500hrs with the hope of capturing a golden glow!  Although I missed the actual sunrise and pre-sunrise I was not to be disappointed! The early morning was cool and fresh, but already you could feel the heat building!

Happy Families!




Many of the "Auks" have left the cliffs and this morning Razorbill numbers seemed in excess of the Guillemots.

"Group Hug" and spot the Razorbill Jumpling!
