A day out with Stu. We met at Flamborough Head where a skylark was singing in the field next to the car park. Standing next to the fog horn station we saw wheatear, meadow pipit, puffin, sand martin, swallow, kittiwake, guillemot and razorbills. Lots of gannets flying past.
Near the "drinking dinosaur" we saw turnstone and purple sandpiper. Walking back along the motor way hedge, we added yellowhammer, sedge warbler and reed bunting to our list.
RSPB Bempton was our second stop of the day. All the car parks were full, so we had to wait for someone leaving to occupy their space.
