Bempton Cliffs Circular Walk - 27th January 2022

 

A rather bracing walk up to the cliffs and down a rather muddy Hoddy Cows Lane this morning. An increase in cloud shrouded any chance of a spectacular sunrise, so I made do with post-sunrise light. Sadly, on the cliffs, I came across some littering (see end of blog post).







Post-sunrise over RAF Bempton



Sadly, on the cliffs, at the point where bird monitoring takes place (no birds to monitor at this time of year as none on the cliffs), trampled vegetation and discarded litter was seen, over the fence and close to a 400ft drop. Obviously I have no proof of who the culprits were, but this is an area where fishermen cast their lines. For the RSPB to access this area, trained staff and safety harnesses must be worn, so making it difficult to clear. Whoever is responsible has no morals and no interest in the damage done. Serious questions need to be asked by the RSPB and appropriate action taken.
