The weather has been rather inclement of late with heavy, persistent rain and very strong winds, not at all conducive to birding or photography. An improved forecast this morning saw myself and Symphony embarking on the Bempton circular walk. Often in birding, you hear the words "should've been here ten minutes ago"! Today this comment related to the sunrise which, if I had left home earlier, would've been impressive. Still, I managed a few post sunrise images!
On the cliffs, life continues with Gannets still dominating and Gugas of varying stages of development, Fulmars, still a few Kittiwakes, Herring Gulls and Shags. Best bird for me was a flyover Whimbrel (year tick). Towards Bartlett Nab, a splendid male Wheatear flitted fast enough and far enough to ensure I couldn't get it on camera! In the field at the back of Jubilee Corner a Whinchat and three Stonechats did similar! Oh well, nice to see!
Gannet Life
This Gannet Guga amused me with its "fashionable" plumage!
The sun didn't really perform and cloud dominated
Till next time................................
