Birds, including Puffins, Razorbills, Gannets and Guillemots, Meadow Pipit and Siskin, seen during a walk along the cliffs from Thornwick Bay to Bempton Cliffs on 19th May 2024

 I was staying at Thornwick Bay Holiday Park so, on Sunday, I decided to walk along the cliffs to Bempon Cliffs nature reserve.

Before I set out, I photographed a pretty clump of Pink Campion at the edge of the holiday park

A Meadow Pipit was sitting on a wire near the flowers

A pair of Razorbills were perching on the side of the cliff

A Pied Wagtail was standing on a post

A Puffin watched me from a lower part of the cliff

Several Puffins and Razorbills were perching and flying at Bempton Cliffs

Another Meadow Pipit perched on a plant

Northern Gannet in bullet-like pose as it flew along the edge of the cliffs

There were lots of Gannets perched on the edge of the cliffs

or riding the strong winds

Guillemots were also perching on the edge of the cliff

I was lucky enough to get a photograph of a Barn Owl in flight

A Siskin was picking up dandelion seed at the edge of the woodland path

Another Puffin on the cliff

and a Guillemot

More Northern Gannets riding the wind above the flowers at the edge of the cliff

A pair of Gannets fighting as well as flying!

Love is in the air!
