The chance to get out with Mrs R today saw us heading for another favourite destination of ours, the majestic chalk headland of Flamborough Head.
We decided to walk from Danes Dyke and up to the Lighthouse and back, a walk we had done once before.
On the outward leg the weather wasn't too bad being slightly cloudy and with light winds, but on the way back it was fairly blustery and full cloud cover.
The walk was still enjoyable all the same and we managed to see some nice birds and some of the fantastic local wildlife.
The best bird sightings went to 2 Red Kite as they slowly flew south over the gorse field and Old Fall, but today the mammal gods were smiling on us as we enjoyed some superb views of a pod of 7 Bottle-nosed Dolphins as they swam south past the seabird observatory. It was really great to have another encounter with these cracking animals and there were a lot of smiling faces after they had disappeared.
Also nearby, where at least 250 Grey Seals, giving they're usual fantastic views as they loafed about on the beach and several were also seen swimming around giving some brilliant and entertaining viewing.
The following are some pics and videos from our day.
