27 April - An evening visit to Bempton with the showery weather generating dramatic cloudscapes. A cacophony of calling seabirds on the towering cliffs and in the air. The Gannets looked huge at close quarters, and some were carrying beakfuls of vegetation to line their ledges. Kittiwakes were calling and cruising around with the Fulmars, but the greatest numbers of birds were the Auks - good numbers of Guillemots, with a reasonable showing of the smart black Razorbills with their striking bills, and smaller numbers of Puffins including several close individuals with their comical, trusting expressions as always. As usual with seabirds, lots of photographic opportunities, but a challenge to get good flight shots.
