Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to [Whitby]! A non-birding day! 26th November 2017.

Whitby Abbey

Heather was working hard at a craft fair in Whitby so it was a good opportunity for myself and Symphony to wander about this lovely town! 


A rather cold day but blue sky and sunshine. Some fantastic waves breaking around the harbour begged to be photographed!




Captain James Cook standing "resolute" over Whitby!



Standing high above the town offered fantastic vistas!



Walking west to east required a lot of steps and climbing, challenging my non-existing fitness to the limit! Worth it though for images of Whitby Abbey.




Whitby lifeboat and crew leaving the harbour and embarking on an exercise


Excellent education but will it be heeded and put into practice?


Some Whitby "oddities"!

I know it was cold but a Polar Bear?


Heather was grafting, so I had to give this opportunity a miss!


Did someone come home unexpected?


And finally, looking towards Sandsend
