Local Barn Owl
A change in the weather with dull and cloudy conditions and rain falling for the last mile of my walk. Temperatures remained mild so a wetting wasn't a problem! Quite a few vehicles verge parked at the top of Cliff Lane, but I didn't see any of the occupants, so still happy to visit.
One of the local Barn Owls gave a good performance of hunting skills and seemed to be doing well with frequent visits to its nest. Unfortunately, it again remained distant...
On the cliffs its business as usual with Puffins doing their best to remain invisible! Still, if you know where to look...
Kittiwakes continue to rag the cliffs for nesting mud and vegetation...
Kittiwakes are such pretty, innocent looking birds but I often refer to them as "vampires" and here's why...
Gannets brood their eggs under their very large feet, which are very vascular. This Gannet was seen tending its egg, which from laying, is incubated for c32days...
I didn't do as well as I thought I had when trying to capture Gannets in flight...
Many eggs are predated on the cliffs and fields by Corvids and Herring Gulls. Here a Jackdaw enjoys breakfast...
Hares are fantastic creatures, but why do they always look sad, serious and old?...
Please stay safe and continue to follow the UK governments current instructions regarding Covid-19.
All visitor facilities (including car parks) remain closed on Bempton Cliffs. Public rights of way remain open.
