Guillemots Galore on my Walk to Bempton Cliffs - 24th November 2020

 

Summer and Winter plumaged Guillemots

A later than usual walk to the cliffs with Symphony, missing most of what would have been a brilliant sunrise! Oh well, I tried to make the best of what was left!



Amazingly, Guillemots are still on the cliff ledges, in flight and on the sea! Probably around one thousand Guillemots between Grandstand and Bartlett Nab.



The red mark on the above image is someone's jumper, destined to spend the rest of its life in nature 




Interesting to be able to compare the differences in plumage with some Guillemots in summer plumage and others in winter plumage.

Fulmars have made a welcome return to the cliffs






And a random Greater Black Backed Gull
