When I left the house for a sunrise walk up to Bempton Cliffs, I wondered if there would be one, as it was dark, very cloudy and little in the way of brightness from the east.
The darkness was broken by the sound of a Song Thrush belting out it's song! At least now I can hear birdsong!

Still not convinced of a sunrise!
But, eventually, the sun rose above the thickest cloud and......
Although post sunrise there was some brightness, it was still high ISO for any birds! I spotted my first Gannet on the cliffs, just east of Bartlett Nab. A small number of Guillemots (c100) could also be seen on the ledges. Fulmars were dominant. Two Grey Partridges were flushed as we walked back towards Cliff Lane.
