Having completed a days survey work at East Heslerton, near Filey, on Thursday I drove the short trip down to Bempton Cliffs.

What a great idea , not been on cliffs like that for a year or so, 1000's of Auks, Kittiwakes and Gannets all screaming in what appeared a chaotic mess on the cliffs, over the sea and in filling the sky!?

Razorbill, Guillemot and Puffin all within 5m at times just over the tops of the cliffs, great if you don't suffer from vertigo. Unfortunately, having taken my camera out for the first time in ages the battery was dead when I went to use it , nevermind, my memory and a short clip on my mobile phone will have to do instead.

Lovely to watch the Fulmar gliding through the endless streams of other birds too.

If you are ever that way, well worth a stroll along the clifftops . No migrants were on the tops though despite a good search, but plenty of Tree Sparrow and Reed Bunting on the feeders and a appently a Firecrest there on Wednesday!?
