After the storms....

East Yorkshire RSPB group ventured to Scarborough today - after the storms.....  starting at Holbeck the Med Gulls obligingly showed




Purple sandpipers rested on the sea wall


and came closer when a wave came to close....



the surf was not really up but the guys were trying hard!!




calling in at Filey Dams on the way home produced Long Tailed Tits (one of these days will get a clear shot at one!!) and arrived home to find the Sparrowhawk had not taken long to find a new perch (after the demise of the bird table)



a good day!!
