RSPB Bempton Cliffs at 0603 today.
I was not the first person at the reserve this morning. Lots of other people either watching the sunrise or the barn owl.
Lots of meadow pipits, reed buntings and skylarks.
Heard and saw a corn bunting but not able to take a photo. The number of gannets continues to increase.
The early morning sun gave them a pinkish tint.
other gannets were displaying.
Lots of kittiwakes, guillemots and razorbills on the sea, I did not see a puffin.
I left as the number of visitors was increasing and drove to Filey Dams.
I was not alone in the hide!
A chiifchaf was near the hide
A common gull
A spaarowhawk flew over and scattered lots of birds, so I walked round to East Lea.
A little ringed plover was feeding along the edge of the water on the opposite side of the lagoon.
Shovelers were busy head bobbing.
A family of greylag geese became the centre of attention for all the greylags and the parents had to fend off other geese.
Jackdaws were having a bathe.
Two grey partridges flew in.
A barnacle goose was with the canada geese.
36 oystercatchers dropped in for a bathe and a rest.
I left just after lunch to try and avoid the traffic, but joined the queue for York just after the last part of dual carriageway ends.
