Jacqui's wildlife

Having traveled over to Barton-Upon Humber decided to go up to Flamborough Head , and Bempton for the day on Friday , weather forecast looked pretty good too . We set off at about 9.00 am and had a lovely drive through my most favourite countryside , the sun was shining and everywhere looked so fresh and beautiful . When we arrived at Flamborough we first took a walk down to the sheep field to see if we could locate the Tawny Pipit . There were a few birders about and no one had located the Tawny . Also spotted plenty of Linnets a few Wheatear and White Wagtail , We seen an immature male Eider on the sea which was a year tick for me :) We scanned the fields in the hope of the Tawny but no luck . We then headed along the cliff edge and back towards the car park . From here we walked along the coastal path towards the Golf course still scanning every Pipit that moved , but all turned out to be Meadow Pipits . We then decided to get on up to Bempton Cliffs . Lots of Gannet

, Guillemot , Kittiwake , Razorbill , Shag and just a couple of Puffin , so lots of year ticks for me . Then I had a Lifer a Great Skua flying high . We had not one Great Skua but four , all flying high , which i am told is unusual for Skua's . We went back to the visitor centre where I spent a fortune , and also had a coffee and enjoyed sat in the sun photographing the Tree Sparrows and Linnets . Had an amazing day out as always on the coast . :)
