Wet! Wet! Wet!

 

Rather wet Kestrel!

Another dull and wet morning on our local exercise walk but with the slight consolation of no fog! The rain, although light, was, however, challenging to the optics! In fact I didn't think the Sony would be coming out of its bag, but there is always something to see.

One of the Kestrels presented itself well, albeit rather wet!

Not quite as advertised but the first initial is correct!





Good numbers of Guillemots



Bridled Guillemot


Why do I think that the Guillemot in the centre may be female?


Many more Gannets appearing on the ledges






Rather bedraggled Linnets





Damp Pheasant


At the top of Cliff Lane, the regular flock of mixed Canada Geese / hybrids was joined by a small group of Pink Footed Geese






The Grandstand landslip



The "Beast of Bempton", sensibly sheltering from the rain!



Please stay safe and enjoy your exercise walks in nature.
