After capturing this mornings Moonset and Sunrise (subject of another blog post), I turned my attention to the wildlife. It appeared that there had been a big clear out of birds from the cliff ledges. Very few Auks and Gannets seemed less in number, but small rafts of Kittiwakes could be seen just off shore, with a few taking flight towards the cliffs and a few landing briefly. I was mesmerised by a large pod of Bottle Nosed Dolphins heading towards Flamborough. They were difficult to count, well spread out but almost seemed a continuous stream! I had decided to carry my Canon 7D Mk2 and 400mm 5.6 prime lens, but soon realised that I had been using my Sony RX10 so much, that I had forgotten how to set the 7D up 😕! As a result, most images were consigned to the bin!
