Not a brilliant picture as it remained under the tree in the shade. a dipper flew past me twice, presumably on its way to its nest. On to Bempton, where Gavin was on duty. After a brief chat I walked down to the cliff tops. If gannets keep on increasing in numbers they will be in the fields soon!
Not sure what is happening here?
After visiting all the viewpoints, as I walked back towards the visitor centre I heard and then saw my first corn bunting of the year, my 5th year tick of the day. I walked to the bird feeding station. Lots of jackdaws. Chatted to a chap from Hampshire and gave him directions for black grouse. Said goodbye to Gavin and drove to Filey.
East Lea first. Several broods of young birds. Common sand piper and little ringed plover remained on the far side of the lagoon.
Shelduck on the island with lots of sleeping mallards. Onto Filey Dams.
Grey heron perched on a post to the left of the east hide. The sun came out and so did several dragonflies in front of the central hide.
