Welcome To My Blog,This Will Be Mainly Used As A Diary For My Local Birding Patch At East Halton/Goxhill On The Banks Of The Humber Estuary,With Occasional Twitching And Visits Elsewhere Including Photos From Mine & Tracey's Walks And Holidays Around Our Beautiful Countryside.
A change of scenery today, saw me heading for the fantastic seabird mecca that is Flamborough Headland. This internationally important site for nesting and migrating birds on Europe's most northerly area of chalk cliffs is a real pleasure to visit and has become one of my favourite destinations away from the local patch on the Humber.
Today i visited Bempton Cliffs RSPB in the morning, before relocating to Flamborough Head itself for the remainder of the day.
Highlights from the day away from all the lovely local nesting seabirds, saw an adult Peregrine putting on a good show at Bempton, with sea mammals stealing the show at Flamborough, when a pod of at least 8 Bottle-nosed Dolphins put on a fantastic show off the sewatch observatory.
It really is a special place from the amazing sights of thousands of seabirds, to the towering cliffs of the headland and 100's of Grey Seals and visiting Dolphins.
The following are my fave photos and videos from this brilliant day out.

A chance to take the family out at last with a brilliant forecast, saw us heading to the stunning Castle Howard in North Yorkshire.
This stunning house has been the family seat of the Carlisle branch of the Howard family for 300 years. It has been used most famously as a setting for the famous tv series Brideshead Revisited.
The following are some of my favourite photos from our brilliant day out in the sun.
