Gannets and a Peregrine...

Sun, strong easterlies - all set for a good day at Bempton.....

oh - and a Redstart...

A day out at sea.....

An amazing day spending a total of seven hours on the water - first a Yorkshire Coast Nature trip followed by the RSPB Seabird cruise......  followed by an Osprey at Bempton today!!


Steve trys out his new GroPro toy, and Lucy doing her duty as Ships Mate deciding it is time to start 'chumming'.....

Newly fledged juvenile Gannet 

 And the Gannets start coming in....

And then we went for diving gannets on the RSPB cruise - first time attempted and it worked!!

 

Todays highlight - Osprey over Staple Newk, Bempton

A day at Blacktoft

Weather (sea swell) caused a change of plans so joined the 'change-over' day traffic and headed south to Blacktoft.......  was rewarded with great views of a Ruff and distant but nicely performing Marsh Harriers - oh and a Water Rail chick.......
