Purple Sandpiper
We have a market stall (selling greetings cards, my photographic cards and Avon products) on Bridlington Market every Wednesday and Saturday (well worth a visit!) giving me the opportunity of wandering around Bridlington Harbour to see what is about. Today, rarely for this time of year, the sun was shining, the sky was blue and the wind was much reduced! It would of been rude not to capture the moments!
I have seen Kittiwakes this year, distant off Bempton Cliffs, but now they are beginning to return to their nest sites around the harbour and have been seen checking out the ledges in the town.
Purple Sandpipers were in good numbers at high tide with c30 birds being seen on the harbour walls and rocks.
The ever present Turnstone
Redshank are numerous, seen here with a Dunlin

Lunch is served!
Early starts on the market often enable some fantastic sunrises to be captured. Today, I was busy erecting the stall so missed the sun coming up over the horizon. However, it was still spectacular an hour later.
And finally, two iconic figures of Brid Harbour, the Pirate ship and Yorkshire Belle
