Bempton Cliffs Walk - 11th February 2022

 

Short-eared Owl

A late morning walk up to Bempton Cliffs due to waiting for a boiler repair. With no heating or hot water for three days, this had to be the priority and thankfully all was sorted by 1000hrs. What a glorious day weather wise, blue sky and sunshine but remaining cool, unless you could hide away in a sun trap!

This rather tatty Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly had found that "sun trap"!

A lot of work was being carried out on the reserve, Bartlett Nab viewpoint was close to enable path repair work and new paths were being made up near the visitor centre. Birds were rather scarce and remaining (very) distant!
