Merry Christmas from the Gang at Bempton Cliffs
With very poor weather on the run up to Christmas, it was really nice to take a walk, with Symphony, up to the cliffs on what promised to be a very nice day. One of my aims was to capture the Christmas sunrise and despite the "early" start, was not to be disappointed!

I had also hoped to capture the cliffs in the golden light, but at this time of year it takes a while for the sun to hit them!
Wildlife wise, very quiet! Although I didn't stay very long the best included - Red Throated Diver (3); Great Black Backed Gull (3); Corn Bunting (6); Tree Sparrow (100+); Fulmar (50+); Cormorant (2); Reed Bunting (1); Guillemot (1); Herring Gull (20+); Seal (1); Harbour Porpoise (5+); Roe Deer (7).
Unfortunately, the light had not yet brightened the cliffs so images are high ISO!

Merry Christmas from the "Deep"!
And finally, a random Carrion Crow!
A reminder that Bempton Cliffs Visitor Centre will be closed from Monday 23rd December 2019 and will re-open on Wednesday 1st January 2020. The reserve will be open at all times. See you in 2020! Keep 'em peeled!
