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

 


A pleasant morning with a light south west wind and brightness. Bird life on the cliffs goes on with daily increases in the number of Gannets. Fulmars abound. Very few Guillemots seen, just a few in flight and none visible on the ledges or in rafts. No Razorbills seen. An increase in the numbers of Skylarks and Meadow Pipits in the cliff top fields. Two Barn Owls quartered the cliff top fields but remained distant.

The Gannets on the cliffs are increasing daily









Who can resist Yellowhammers?





Barn Owls are always great to see but can prove tricky to capture at times!
