Bempton Cliffs

We took a trip to Bempton Cliffs this afternoon with the hope of seeing more than Gannets this time (not that there's anything wrong with Gannets anyway! And we got some excellent views of everything you'd expect at Bempton... masses of Gannets (and some great views of fluffy chicks), Kittiwakes and Guillemots. And there were also a number of Puffins (great fun to watch in flight, I even saw one clutching a fish) and Razorbills, although both these species in far less numbers.

Bempton is also a great place for Meadow Pipits and I got he best view of one I've ever had! It was perched on a pole before flying off... makes a change to see one up close as opposed to recognition through song and flight pattern.
