Puffin
A rather wild day with a strong, cold south westerly blow and the threat of rain constantly in the air, required the wearing of my big coat for a walk to the cliffs! At one point, I even donned my gloves! Someone, somewhere has definitely doused the "flaming" part of June!
The weather must have put off the visitors as there was only one car in the car park and I didn't meet anyone. How I like it at the moment though, as I'm still "at risk".
I thought the strong wind might encourage the seabirds to "hang" in the air, but, alas, no, quite the opposite!
Seabird life goes on!
Puffins...
Kittiwakes are at very varied stages of development. Some eggs still, some very small chicks and some with their "Tarrock" (first year markings), third image down...

Mum, I'm hungry mum!...
Sorry son, I'm empty! You'll have to wait till your dad gets home...
In "normal" times, when I work as a viewpoint volunteer on the cliffs, I am often called by anxious visitors to look at a "dead" Guga (young Gannet). Many love to adopt this pose!...

Glad I don't live near Bill's mother! Cliff Lane Bempton...
