East Yorkshire Wildlife
We got a great view of this Leveret by the roadside. In the grounds of our accomodation this Mistle Thrush was nesting and very agressive it was - even terrorising a Wood Pigeon, feathers everywhere!! Also shown here are Treesparrow (again in the grounds) and a Whitethroat
Kittiwakes
One of our favourite sea birds, very pretty and very vocal! Lots now nesting at Flamborough and also a few at Bempton.
Bempton Fulmars
Quite a lot of these are at Bempton Cliffs now. They are not the easiest birds to capture as they are very quick and this particular few came in under a grass bank area so lots of shots were missed!! We persevered and got a few shots in the end!

Magical Sunsets
We have had some glorious evenings on our local reserve, we try to pop down after tea most nights - it is so magical! The sunsets are fantastic and nothing beats being there as the sun goes down. Swallows and Sand Martins displaying and skimming the water, birds coming into roost - amazing!!
Displaying Swallows
During our bird study group evening gathering we loved watching these Swallows displaying as the sunset. Magical!
Warblers
Lots of these birds today, all full of the joys of Spring! Blackcaps, Willow Warblers, Chiffchaff. There was a large influx of Sedge Warbler today, I counted at least 14 and lots of the males treated me to a flying and calling display. Having not witness this before I enjoyed a noisy 20 minutes watching them

Speckled Wood
Lots of these on the wing today, first of the year for me. There were lots of birds singing today including Blackcap, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff but most kept out of sight so no photos obtained
