Bempton Circuit - 26th August 2017

Gannets with Guga

It is really special having so many habitats accessible within minutes of leaving the house! One such enjoyable walk is the "Bempton circuit", a c4mile circular route starting (for me) from Bempton village, through Buckton to Buckton Pond, up Hoddy Cows Lane to Buckton Cliffs, along Bempton Cliffs and returning to Bempton village down Cliff Lane.

The wires in Buckton village were full of Swallows - soon to leave the UK.


Buckton pond was quiet and the under construction wader scrape equally so!

Hoddy Cows Lane had numerous finches and other passerines, most flitting too quickly for images but I did manage a "Mr & Mrs" Yellowhammer.

Once on Bempton Cliffs, the Gannets always manage to take over your mind and camera!

Doting Parents!

"Now look son, your mother and I are thinking it's about time you made your own way in life"!

"Mum, Dad, I love you both!"

"Mum, Dad, I love you both!"

Home alone! "Where did you get that hat, where did you get that hat?"!

Going!

Going!

Geronimo!



And Herring Gull

Is this my best side?

Between a rock and a hard place!
