Bempton Cliffs, Birds in Flight - 14th July 2019

Puffin

A moderate (and cold!) north, north westerly blow did it's best to chill us on the viewpoints today! On the plus side, the birds performed very close in flight with many hovering. I decided to set myself a challenge and capture the eight main breeding seabirds in flight. I didn't do too badly with seven out of eight - I failed to get a Shag, but I did get the juvenile Peregrine!
