Bempton Cliffs RSPB
A really dull day and another hard day in the field with a few highlights. Bempton Cliffs RSPB reserve is a fabulous place. The sheer cliff faces are home to tens of thousands of seabirds. It was way after post-breeding but a few Gannet were still present on their perilous cliff-edged nest sites.
The wind was a keen south-westerly and it was mild, but fresh migrants were almost non-existent.
The highlights were a Tawny Owl roosting in the dell, a first for the reserve. A male Bullfinch was a nice surprise but was extremely wary as it dived into cover. A stunning Barn Owl hunted in front of the reserve late afternoon.
The resident Tree Sparrow in decent numbers were great to watch at the feeding station.
