Flamborough, South Landing and Thornwick - 3rd October 2017

Ruff

On such a pleasant autumnal morning, it would be just rude not to go out birding! Blue sky and sunshine but a cooling south westerly blow. I decided to head out to Flamborough, stopping off at Watery Lane where two Ruff graced the small wetland area.

And then down to South Landing, an area that I do not do justice!

Curlew



Rock Pipit




Oystercatcher



Kestrel




White Wagtail



And off to Thornwick Pools which held lots of water but little in the way of birdlife! A quick look at the fishing pool was just as interesting! However, on leaving the pools, on the grass area adjacent to the entrance road, two Wheatears caught my attention!



In all, not a bad three hours birding!
