RSPB Bempton - 10.9.20
Well I'm back at RSPB Bempton cliffs this afternoon as I'm on the very last Steve Race gannet diver trip of the year, well it wouldn't be right not to spending a breezy sunny afternoon here with great views out over the North Sea.
The last time I was here a little over a month ago there were still quite a few auks about even an odd puffin but today it's very different, its autumn and very quite with all cliff breeders now departed to northern latitudes apart from the Gannets that will also depart in a few weeks but the other way...south.
The plan for this afternoon is to head towards Staple Newk where the Black Browed Albatros was first seen amongst the Gannet and try for some shots of the Gannet on the grass cliff top. Earlier in the year the Gannets were right on the very top of the cliff but today they are just poking their heads above the grass which makes for an alternative shot especially when the sun appearance.
With the breeds season well and truly over photo opportunities are few so the remainder afternoon is about enjoying a great location and of course the last Gannets this season. I will post a few more images a little later.
