Bempton Cliffs Walk (Wildlife) - 18th July 2022

 

Razorbills (still with "jumpling")

An early start to our walk this morning (0430Hrs) to get in a few miles before the very hot temperatures forecast start to destroy the world as we know it! 😇 It was very pleasant with a cool breeze up on the cliffs and one of the few people I met remarked about how cold it was!

It will soon be time to say goodbye to the most charismatic birds on the cliffs - the Puffin. Most will depart the cliffs for the sea at the end of July, and gone by the middle of August.

A few "Jumplings" can still be seen on the ledges, in this case Razorbill

Guillemot with fish, but no partner or "jumpling" to offer it too

Kittiwake chicks are now taking on their year 1 markings. When they fledge the cliffs they are known as "Tarrocks" for the first year,

And the Gannets

Barn Owl

Meadow Pipit

I managed to see an adult Corn Bunting feeding at least two juveniles, only managed to get a juvenile!

And finally, Roe Deer
