Birding walk on my last morning in Thornwick Bay - 24th May 2024

I just walked round the Thornwick Bay Holiday Park site on my last morning as I was carrying a heavy backpack and did not want to travel far with it.

A Skylark was soaring into the sky at the edge of the holiday park

Young Starlings were waiting to be fed by an adult

A male Chaffinch was singing from the top of a fir tree

There was a short fuzzy caterpillar at the entrance to the bird hide in Thornwick Pools


A Moorhen walked past a tiny Pied Wagtail


A Sedge Warbler was flitting about in the reeds at the back of Thorwick Pools nature reserve



A Mute Swan absolutely dwarfed a Little Ringed Plover


Closer view of the Little Ringed Plover


A pair of Canada Geese with a gosling were feeding on grass in front of pink Ragged Robin flowers


Early Purple Orchid near the edge of the fishing lake


That was it!  Great birding trip to Thornwick Bay, Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough Head was over!
