Bempton Cliffs Circular Walk - 13th September 2021

 

My first walk to the cliffs for over a week and it was good to be able to enjoy the post sunrise (note to self, get out earlier!). A lot more birds have departed from the cliffs, with many more ready to go. The Black Browed Albatross is still present in the area of Staple Newk. A rare Green Warbler was reported at the heligoland, Buckton Cliffs, while I was in Northumberland. Despite its rarity in the UK and also being a first for Yorkshire, it did not excite me and I didn't rush to see it, albeit  only a mile from home! This morning, as I was going to be passing that way, I decided to detour and have a go. Within a few minutes the Green Warbler was seen in a rather dark gap, briefly! It was certainly not "orgasmic" and I still couldn't raise any excitement, but I had seen it!
