Bempton in the Autumn

A trip to Bempton this morning, before meeting with friends in the afternoon - despite the best efforts of the car! (Thanks to the RSPB staff and the AA for their help.) Usually we come in the summer, for the Gannets - there were a few flying around and nice to see the juveniles. We also spent 20 minutes looking at a sstretch of hedgerow, where there was a Yellow-browed Warbler - but it didn't show until later in the day....

It was good to see and hear geese piling into the stubble fields.

A spectacular chalk coastline.

Pigeons are now the most numerous birds on the cliffs. 

A solitary adult Gannet on the cliff. 

A fluffy juvenile.

..and older speckledy juveniles...


At this time of year you can see the true amount of plastic on the cliffs. 

Gannets out at sea...

..and closer in.

Barn Owl.

Patterns and textures in the cliffs.
