Bempton Cliffs

Decided to visit Bempton Cliffs today. Visitor centre is closed but toilets are open.
I arrived at 0845 to find the car park half full. Later on when I was talking to the maintenance chap and he told me that there were 15 cars at 7am!
Lots of people and plenty of room. Only problem was a couple with a dog on a long lead. They were at Flamboro and the dog was in Filey!!
Plenty of birds to be seen at each of the viewpoints. I was trying to show one lady a puffin, but as she had no binoculars it proved to be mission impossible. Her husband could see it as he had a pair of bins, but he did not offer them to his wife!
No real order for the photos.








You have to watch where you land when fellow gannets are near.

Time for a sleep










 Lots of whitethroats about and this one liked to come back to this post.
