What a fantabulous morning! A brilliant sunrise (separate blog page), followed by blue sky and sunshine! The temperatures were quite mild as well, but first thing on the cliffs was a tad chilly! My route today was the Bempton circular.
Some great birds today. Adrenaline flowed with a message of a south bound White Tailed Eagle, sighted at Scarborough, but the dastardly bird chose to fly inland at Scarborough north bay, no doubt disappointing the waiting observers through to Flamborough. The cliffs are alive again with the sight and sound of seabirds. All of the eight main breeding species are on the cliffs (Puffin, Guillemot, Razorbill, Gannet, Herring Gull, Shag, Fulmar and Kittiwake) and in good numbers. New bird for me were three singing Chiffchaffs at Buckton Pond. Heather managed Wheatear and Swallow on the cliff top.
