Bempton's Gannets
















Ended up at Bempton today after missing the citrine wagtail at Flamborough. The wind was biting, hard to believe that it's May. Not had a very good week on the birding front. Went to Spurn mid week for the golden oriole which was no-where to be seen, then onto try to see the Pallid Harrier at Patrington Haven which didn't come into roost there that night. The citrine wagtail was three dips in less than a week. Highlights yesterday were 3 sandwich terns which we had at Alkborough and of course, Bempton never fails to please. These gannets were simply hanging there in the wind - quite a spectacle!
