Bempton & Buckton Walk - 30th April 2023

St. Michaels, Bempton

 Yet another bank holiday weekend and far too "peopley" for me, so a quiet wander through Bempton and Buckton taking images of whatever takes my fancy! Photography is light and hopefully the images depicted below show that even the simplest of things can be turned into a "photograph".

It's amazing what survives in Bempton Pond!

Thank you for looking.

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

 

Wheatear

A pleasant, mild morning for a change with a few bright intervals. Surprise of the morning on the harbour wall was a fresh in migrant, a Wheatear! Another nice surprise on my second walk were two overflying Barnacle Geese, but alas, no images.

Wader wise, summer plumaged Turnstones, still a good number of Purple Sandpipers, but I couldn't locate any Dunlins or Redshanks.

And finally, the King Street Kittiwakes

Aspects of Bridlington Harbour & Bay (Landscapes) - 29th April 2023

 A much better day than of late, mild, but cloudy with a few bright intervals. A couple of walks around the harbour just as the sun was trying to break through. I think the thickening cloud may well dominate!

Tophill Low (Some of the Wildlife) - 27th April 2023

 

Greenshank

An early morning and quite quiet visit to Tophill Low. Best birds for me were year ticks of Greenshank and Common Sandpiper. I also managed to visit all of the hides as well as enjoying the great outdoors, and only met a handful of people.
