Birding Group Visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs 7th June 2017
On the second day of our two-day birding group outing, we headed from South Cave up to RSPB Bempton Cliffs. The weather had improved a bit and although it was blowing a gale, it didn’t rain. As ever, it was impsossibly busy but it did what it does – gives you good views of Gannets, Guillemots, Razorbills and Kittiwakes. Additionally there were several Puffins and Fulmars. There were plenty of small birds, too – Linnet, Whitethroat, Skylark, Goldfich etc.

Birding Group Visit to Blacktoft Sands and North Cave 6th June 2017
The first birding group outing of June was an overnight visit to Yorkshire taking in RSPB Blacktoft Sands and North Cave on the 6th and RSPB Benpton Cliffs on the 7th. We mostly stayed overnight in the Travelodge at South Cave but a couple of the group stayed in nearby Beverley. The first day was dominated by some very heavy rain and this made birding hard work. However we had some good birds and even got a year tick.
