Visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs : 7th August 2013
On the second day of our visit to Yorkshire we spent the morning at Spurn before driving up to Flamborough where we were staying at the North Star Hotel. We checked in, had a quick sandwich and a drink and headed off to the RSPB site at Bempton Cliffs where we hoped to see some of the nesting sea birds we had not seen at South Stack on Anglesey – principally Gannets and Kittiwakes, the latter of which seemed to have left the cliffs at South Stack already when we visited in the middle of July. We also hoped to see Fulmars and possibly Skuas as they had been reported to be around quite a bit the last few days. Anyway, we had some hits and some misses.
