RSPB Bempton Cliffs (2) - 14th November 2021

 

Fulmar

After a very nice sunrise, the clouds rolled in and the morning remained rather dull. Still, not bad for November! Arriving on the cliffs, a "guttural growling" could be heard, meaning that Guillemots were back on the ledges! Early morning there were high hundreds, but these dwindled to just a few by mid-morning. Hundreds of Fulmars graced the sky, the most I have seen since the breeding season! A small number of Pink Footed Geese circled the eastern reserve and small groups of Gannets flew through. Best of the morning was a Weasel, scampering around below Bartlett Nab!

And finally, White Dead Nettle (I thought it looked rather attractive!)
