Bempton Cliffs Walk (Wildlife) - 23rd June 2022

 

Roe Deer

A gorgeous morning, very warm with sunshine and blue sky. Started out at c0500hrs and did a circuit of Cliff Lane, Blakehow Lane, over Metlands to the cliffs, along the cliffs and back down Cliff Lane. Passed Staple Newk which was busy and informed that the BBA had flown out to sea. It was lovely to see new life appearing on the cliffs. It was also nice to meet up with RSPB Sarah who left Bempton three years ago and chatted a while.
