We enjoyed a day out at Filey on Thursday with Abi and her dad.
Quite busy here but lots of space on the beach really.
A cool, dull start gave way to a lovely late afternoon.
By the time we got home it was way past our bedtime, after 11pm!
While the other three were on the beach I sloped off for a short time.
Birds:-
The clamber along the rocky pavement to the brig was unusually busy and the tide was way out here with the holiday makers keeping birds at 'bay'.
I did get to see some nice sp. though.
Cormorant, Ringed Plover.
Guillemot, Razorbill.
Small flocks of Auks over the sea at distance.
Herring Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull.
A few small groups of large Gulls out to sea.
Kittiwake, Fulmar.
Flocks of Gannets back and fourth.
A large lively, long legged, marching, Pipit that I cannot ID, looked too lively and large for a Meadow Pipit, not dark enough for a Rock Pipit and I doubted that it would be a Tree Pipit on the cliff top - but..
(On past performance it will be a Meadow Pipit!).
Kestrel, Canada Geese.
A large very white looking Gull is also a puzzle - probably a Herring Gull, loads about.
And a few other sp.
