The puffins are back!

Out with Chris today and Bempton was our destination.

We saw our first razorbills on the cliffs , sea and flying. Gannets were gathering nesting material.

We also saw kittiwakes, jackdaws, skylarks, herring gulls and of course puffins, which took my year count to 124. Chris saw his first shag of the year.
Flamboro Head was our second and final stop.

We hoped to find snow bunting but no luck. This kestrel was hovering near the cliff edge.

A few celandines are coming out, another sign that spring is on its way.

Thanks to Chris for the driving.
