Filey seawatching

 


A pleasant 20 degrees at Filey this morning and a bit misty.

No skuas  or shearwaters but I was pleased to see lots of young kittiwakes.

Sand martins were flying near the latest landslip on Carr Naze, while linnets and goldfinches were happily feeding on the thistles. A single swallow flew south, otherwise it was a constant stream of gannets flying back and forth to Bempton and lots of guillemots on the sea.

Several sandwich terns and a single arctic tern flew past. Due to the high tide the only waders I could see were a single turnstone and oystercather.
