A pre-planned trip to walk from North Landing to Bempton Cliffs RSPB today,saw Tracey,myesl and Clara heading over to this cracking headland on the East Yorkshire coast.
A fairly traffic free drive saw us leaving home in some lovely spring sunshine,sadly though,as we reached Flamborough it was thick cloud and pretty cold it has to be said.
After getting our warm clothes on,we were off,seeing a distant Barn Owl hunting over the fields near Thornwick camp to start the walk off nicely.
A little further on a buck and doe Roe Deer were seen and showed nicely.
The northerly wind was a bit of pain on the first leg,as we walked head on into it,curtailing any plans to try and take some video through my scope of 3 close Puffins we managed to find.
The latter were certainly in low numbers today and we probably saw less than 25 birds all day.
We finally reached the visitor centre at Bempton and stopped for a very welcome cake and cup of hot chocolate.
After hand feeding a couple of very tame Jackdaw,the weather looked as if it was finally breaking at last.
We began our walk south back towards the car with the wind at our backs now,which was great and we stopped a couple of times to watch the beautiful Gannets collecting beak full's of grass to line their nests with.
These really are such beautiful seabirds and i do enjoy watching them.
The walk back was far more enjoyable,with some warm sun.
After enjoying this lovely walk with its beautiful seabirds and stunning maritime scenery,we got changed and headed over to the headland for some well earned lunch.
Another lovely visit here today despite the mud and freezing cold wind in the morning and it won't be long before we are visiting again.
A Dull Start At North Landing.
