Bempton Cliffs Walk (Some of the Birds) - 30th December 2021

 

Guillemots

With the recent rather horrid weather, it has been a while since I posted any wildlife images. I decided to have a go this morning, even though the light conditions were poor and high ISO was order of the day. Most of the images were taken in near darkness! "Guttural growling" indicated Guillemots on the ledges in hundreds, with many more rafting on the sea and in flight. More "raucous" sounds indicated the Fulmars were in a quarrelsome mood. It was also good to sea a Short-eared Owl quartering the "Coultas field", next to the old RAF Bempton base.

And, who can resist a Robin? (Not me...!)




All images (challengly) taken handheld with Sony RX10 Mk4.
