A very enjoyable, autumnal walk to the cliffs this morning, sunshine and blue sky and virtually the whole area to myself (and Symphony). It is always special to be able to capture the sunrise especially over Staple Newk.
As I walked up Cliff Lane, the sun was hidden by cloud cover. I have always been told to check behind as the sun rises and this morning I captured the old RAF Bempton base in superb light!
Again, wildlife wise, the approaches to the cliffs were very quiet and little seen (quite normal for me!). On the cliffs, Gannet numbers have reduced with fewer birds flying through. On the ledges, a few "ready to fledge" Guga are still present, but not for long.
Fulmars seem to have left the area, as they do at this time of year, but they usually return in about a month or so.
All of my images at the moment are taken with my new Sony RX10 mk4 and hand held. Birds in flight have been tricky, so I'm thankful a few Gannets are still coming in close to practice on!
A few of the Gannets still on the cliffs
Very distant off Bartlett Nab sat a Peregrine. A challenge for the Sony but I had a go
I stood no chance when it took to flight though!
Practice makes perfect, they say. I've got a long way to go, but I will [hopefully] get there!
'till next time...
