Scarborough Harbour on a cold damp Monday morning. In the harbour I spotted a red-throated diver, and just managed this shot as it swam out into the bay.
A great northern diver swam into the harbour and started to dive for food and caught a crab.
I think that is the lump in its throat.
RSPB Bempton was my last stop for today. I could not find a woodcock in the Dell, even though it was reported that there were 5 present. No luck either with snow bunting or corn bunting at Jubilee Viewpoint. I did see 3 flocks of small birds, but due to the poor light I could not determine what they were.
My first gannet of the year
Watching fulmars brought back happy memories of the time I spent on Foula, Shetland.
About 1430 the short-eared owls appeared, 3 of them.
They did not come very close.
A pleasnt if cold day on the coast.
