Bempton Cliffs Circular Walk (Wildlife) - 27th January 2022

 

Pink Footed Geese (Hoddy Cows Lane)

A bright, cloudy morning with a bracing south westerly blow. I am finding landscape photography more appetising at the moment (see separate blog post), particularly as I am finding it difficult to see any decent birds! My motto of "I see what I see when I see it" is still current, but where are the birds reported by others? Maybe I should get an opticians appointment? So, what did I see? Gannets are flying along the coast in increasing numbers, but none on the ledges yet. Fulmars are also entertaining, in flight and on the ledges. No Auks today.

In the fields at the top of Cliff Lane, c120 Lapwing circled, before landing out of sight

At the other end of my walk, on Hoddy Cows Lane, c50 Pink Footed Geese were in the fields, before taking flight towards Speeton.

One day, I will find something exciting!
