Aspects of Bridlington Harbour & Bay (Birds) - 29th March 2023

 

Kittiwakes

A mixed day, feeling damp for most of it after a misty start, but a few bright intervals before rain arriving in the afternoon. The south easterly blow contributed a "cool" feeling! Most of the time it was high tide and most of the waders were in their roosts. 

Kittiwake numbers have increased and it is nice to see them and hear their calls throughout the harbour area







I often refer to Kittiwakes as "vampire" birds, due to redness of their mouths and tongues!



Herring Gulls


Black Headed Gull


Cormorant "looking for direction?"


Thank you for looking.
