Bempton Cliffs Walk - 11th November 2021

A seat for private contemplation

 A dull, grey but very mild morning and hardly a blow to be felt. I didn't expect to see much on my walk to the cliffs, but there were a few surprises! They took some finding but in the region of fifty Guillemots were on the ledges. A Gannet was on a ledge below Bartlett Nab, unusual for this time of year and upwards of two hundred were in flight, heading north and south east. Fulmars usually leave the cliffs for a brief period after the breeding season but return after 4 - 6 weeks. This morning, at least one hundred were on and off the cliffs.
