Two walks around Bridlington Harbour this morning, each in different light conditions.
Another wander around Bridlington Harbour in search of birds and, as always, hoping for a rarity to turn up, but, of course, they never do! The Kittiwakes on the fish dock have cleared out with only two being seen this morning. No sign of any Redshanks, probably due to the tide, I think they may be on the walls close to the Spa. The Auks (Razorbills and Guillemots) also seem to have reduced with only one Guillemot seen off the harbour entrance.

It was a good decision to carry my glass ball on my sunrise walk this morning, enabling me to capture the sunrise with a little artistic polish! I hope that you enjoy!

The weather looked good this morning, so it was up early for a sunrise walk on the cliffs. As I walked up Cliff Lane, Bempton, it certainly looked promising and when I arrived I was certainly not disappointed! My only regret was not putting on another clothing layer to combat the autumnal blow!
I was not the first on the cliffs!
I decided to head for New Roll Up viewpoint in order to incorporate Staple Newk in my images
I then walked down to Staple Newk viewpoint, which for the first time in ages, was devoid of any humans! (The Black Browed Albatross has not been showing!).
A mild but bleak start to my day volunteering at Bempton Cliffs with a sea fret engulfing the cliffs! It was slow to clear through the morning, but eventually blue sky and sunshine appeared. Not a lot of change on the cliffs and reserve land. Migrants are slow to appear, Gannets dominate the cliffs, still with Gugas to service, Fulmars, Shags and a few skeins of Pink Footed Geese. On the sea a few Guillemots can be seen and a few Kittiwakes fly through. Unfortunately, the Black Browed Albatross has not been seen for c4days - will it return?
There are still Gannet Gugas being serviced on the cliffs. Some still have a few weeks before they fledge
While others are ready to fledge
