At One With All Nature

 

Not you again! I hope you're local!!

Gannets continue to increase in numbers and are showing an interest in the cliffs. A few have already reclaimed their nest sites, this one near Jubilee Corner.

Others gliding over the waves

Herring Gull chatter

"Now then Mavis, if a seagull lives by the sea, what do you call a bird that lives by the bay?"

"I've no idea, Frank"

"A Bay Gull, get it, a Bay Gull" "It's the way I tell 'em"

Fulmar "Get lost, I'm taken!"

Remember the "one sided" conversation I had with this chap? Well he's got a mate, much shyer and more restrained. I stood between them and had a "one sided" conversation in stereo! Sorry, it's lockdown.....

Please stay safe and enjoy your local exercise walks in nature.

Sunrise, RAF Bempton

What a fantabulous morning for a local exercise walk. Early morning frost, clear sky and a gorgeous sunrise! It certainly diluted the "lockdown" blues!

Before sunrise, it was time for the Moon to clock off

Even an hour before sunrise, the sky was a fantastic colour, its' redness surely made the "shepherds" take heed?

And the sunrise

The sky remained superb after sunrise

There have been instances of people climbing over fences to take photo's or selfies. This is very dangerous. Here is one reason not to do it

Please stay safe on your local exercise walks and enjoy all aspects of nature.

Fulmar

A delayed start to our local exercise walk courtesy of incompetent weather forecasters! Sunny intervals the app said, so off we went, only to retreat due to a bitterly cold easterly wind combined with rain, sleet and snow! Now, I'm all for being at one with all nature, but another coffee and toast won! A couple of hours later, with brighter sky, Symphony, Heather and myself headed on our usual walk to the cliffs.

A lot of Fulmar and Gannet activity but best of all was the sight of a Gannet on the ledges, north of Bartlett Nab. Our first for 2021! 

 A closer look revealed an even rarer species - a Headless Gannet! Although with the strong, cold, easterly wind, I would be hunkered down as well!

Many more of the Gannets are coming close to the cliffs, so it will only be a matter of time before more take possession of their nests.

One of my favourite seabirds, the Fulmar

A post of one of my favourite posts, posted to celebrate the importance that posts need to be posted! I love posting posts of posts!
