A rather dull start to the day, continuing throughout. I suppose the best description was various shades of grey! It did nothing to motivate me and I searched in vain for something different, failing miserably!

Typical! Just put my dinner on the table and word comes out that a flock of Waxwings had dropped in at Bempton & Buckton village hall. Too good a chance to see these fantastic winter visitors, so off I shot, hoping my dinner would be okay when I got back! I was not to be disappointed with a flock of c16/17, the largest group I had seen for several years. Record shots appended below.
Some also auditioned in goal!

A tad grey start to the day, with a few bright periods and remaining mild.
Best bird of the day was a ring tailed Hen Harrier, hunting the fields on Cliff Lane, but distant.
Thousands of Guillemots on the ledges, in flight and on the sea.
Scores of Fulmars mainly in flight but a few on the ledges.
Small numbers of Gannets in flight.
Most people are familiar with seeing Guillemots with other Auks on the ledges during the breeding season. However, they do visit in the winter months from November until March, unfortunately you cannot predict when; how many; or how long they will stay. They are always welcome, with their guttural growling, breaking up the boredom of naked cliffs!
And finally, a few random leaves
