RSPB Bempton












Gannets

Kittiwake



Puffins


With very few birds to go and see, we headed off to Bempton for the day. It really is a spectacle with 1000's of birds on the cliffs. The site does seem to have gained in popularity since Springwatch and it was packed for a Friday with a brand new visitors centre to try to tempt you to part with your money ! A fabulous day.

Black Redstarts at Kilnsea










This pair of black redstarts were the highlight of our day at Spurn. Was shocked by the amount of tree felling that had taken place in and around the Crown and Anchor carpark. There won't be many birds in those trees this year thats for sure, as most of them have gone.
