Local Exercise Walk to Bempton Cliffs (Some of the Birds)

 

Razorbill

A beautiful late winter morning, early frost, blue sky, sunshine, light breeze and mild temperature. A good selection of birds on and around the cliffs - two Barn Owls hunting the cliff top fields; Guillemots and Razorbills have returned to the ledges with many more in rafts on the sea; Gannets numbers are still increasing; Fulmars are a delight; many passerines in song; and Lapwings on Cliff Lane. Best birds for me were two Puffins on the sea (probably many more if I had taken the time to scan, but I was on my exercise walk!
