East coast birding

 

Filey was my first stop, but no sign of any divers or grebes in the bay. From the top of Carr Naze I could see gannets and guillemots near the edge of Filey Brigg and as I walked back to the car I saw several Fulmars gliding out to sea.

RSPB Bempton Cliffs was stop number 2. Gannets and guillemots on the cliff ledges and fulmars cackling at each other.

On the outskirts of Scarborough I got a brief glimpse of a med gull.

A walk around the harbour produced nothing but herring gulls, not even a turnstone!

Scalby Mills was my last stop.

Lots of gulls and wigeon. The rain started so I headed for home with 4 year ticks on my list.
