My Last Walk to Bempton Cliffs in 2021 (Some of the Birds) - 31st December 2021

 

Fulmars

Yet another dull, grey day but with a few brighter elements of dull grey! Arriving on the cliffs, five Fieldfares were in the tall tress near the visitor centre. A single Short-eared Owl quartered the "Coultas field" but distant. On the ledges were Fulmars and Guillemots (c200), many less than yesterday. On the sea, off Grandstand / Bartlett Nab viewpoints, were c12 Red Throated Divers and five Shags. The old potato field (now stubble) held c40 Lapwings.
