Around Bempton during the last week - November 2019

Humes Warbler - Bempton Cliffs

The long staying Humes Warbler at RSPB Bempton Cliffs is still showing well in the bushes around the overflow carpark. You could say it is showing well, it is, but very flitty and a real challenge to gain images!





A good number of Corn Buntings were flying over, with some resting on the wires, again near the overflow car park



Yesterday (18th November) we had an interesting visitor in a (Bempton) neighbours garden. I was called across to be told that a Cormorant was sitting on their patio! When I slowly and carefully peered around the corner, I was faced with a juvenile Shag!! The bird appeared dazed but looked healthy. It posed for a while before moving around the garden, taking a poop and then flying north towards the Cliffs. I suppose I could be crude and say "I had a Shag in my neighbours garden!".





Nearby Bridlington Harbour does not attract many interesting birds these days, but it has played host to two Red Throated Divers. One departed after a couple of days, but this one stayed a few more days.
