Bempton RSPB & Fabulous Flamborough,Saturday 20th May 2023.

After a quick visit to the local patch to carry out my WEBS count this morning,i traveled back home to pick Mrs R up as we had organised to meet up with our friends Dan and Jeanette.

A frustrating journey up to Bempton in some horrendous traffic,was soon forgotten as we arrived at this lovely cliff top bird reserve. 

After finding Dan and Jeanette we then made our way to the various viewpoints to witness the amazing sights and sounds of this seabird city.

After Tracey and myself's previous visit in April,it was heartening to see the huge numbers of seabirds now present and no signs of avian influenza more importantly.

My favourite species Gannets and Razorbills gave some fantastic views as always,a real pleasure to see.

A lovely female Cuckoo and a singing male Corn Bunting were also seen as we had our wander around the reserve,which were great to see.

After enjoying our visit to Bempton we travelled the short distance to Flamborough for some lunch.

After enjoying a lovely meal,Dan and Jeanette had to leave,but Trace and myself walked down to the fog station seeing at least 40 Grey Seals which gave their usual superb views.

The scenery is always a show stopper here and we stopped to take several photos of Selwick's Bay and what a fine sight it is.

After enjoying this beautiful area it was sadly time to travel home,but we certainly look forward to our next visit here.

The following are some images from the day,including all the images of the birds taken with my phone x scope combo.
