Bird and wildlife walk from Thornwick Bay to Bempton Cliffs on 9th May 2025

When I set off from Thornwick Bay holiday park there was a Swallow sitting on the roof of one of the buildings near the visitor centre.  It did not stay there long!

I walked up onto the cliffs and was surprised when a Weasel or Stoat (not sure which) popped up out of the long grass.  Once again, it did not stay there long!!

Guillemots and a couple of Razorbills were perching on the side of the cliff

This photographer was doing something that I would not dream of doing!
