A dull start to the day with occasional bright intervals and a light north westerly blow. Not much in the way of a sunrise though. Arriving at Bempton Cliffs car park, unsurprisingly it had quite a few cars parked up, no doubt the occupants were at Staple Newk trying to out do each other with images of the Black Browed Albatross! I decided that Staple Newk would be rammed with birders and photographers, so decided to walk towards Hoddy Cows Lane. Amazingly, I had the reserve to myself! I don't do crowds 😇! All of the main breeding seabirds were present with thousands of Auks (Razorbills, Guillemots and Puffins), Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Gannets, Herring Gulls and Shags). They were on the ledges, on the sea and in flight. Two of the three "S's" were also present - Sight and Sound, ust waiting for Smell!
