Visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs : 8th August 2013 On the morning of the 8th we got up early and had a walk along Flamborough Cliffs before retuning to the RSPB site at Bempton Cliffs where I meant to take my 500mm lens and leave my scope behind. It was far too hot to carry…
Visit to Flamborough Cliffs: 8th August 2013 We stayed at the North Star Hotel in Flamborough on the night of the 7th and rose early on the morning of the 8th for an early breakfast and an early (for us) walk along Flamborough Cliffs on an incredibly hot and sunny morning. In fact the temperatures…
Visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs : 7th August 2013 On the second day of our visit to Yorkshire we spent the morning at Spurn before driving up to Flamborough where we were staying at the North Star Hotel. We checked in, had a quick sandwich and a drink and headed off to the RSPB site…
Visit to Spurn Head : 7th August 2013 On the second day of our visit to Yorkshire we actually got to the coast and we started off by visiting the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve at Spurn Head. Everyone has heard of Spurn Head so we were really looking forward to this trip. We drove down…
Visit to Blacktoft Sands : 6th August 2013 We went to the Yorkshire coast at this time of year last year but this time we decided to add in a couple of new sites for us. The first of these was the RSPB site at Blacktoft Sands which has featured on our birding group schedule…
Visit to Moore Nature Reserve : 1st August 2013 With the weather set to be a little uncertain for a few days we took the opportunity of a good forecast for the first of August to go out to Moore Nature Reserve. In particular I wanted to take a walk out to the farms at…
Visit to RSPB Conwy : 19th July 2013 On our way back from Anglesey to Manchester we stopped off at The Spinnies, Aberogwen, near Tal-y-Bont and then went on to RSPB Conwy. It was another boiling hot day so we were glad of a tea break and a sit down before going round the reserve….
Visit to The Spinnies, Aberogwen : 19th July 2013 We visited South Stack, the Fish Harbour at Holyhead and Cemlyn Bay yesterday and we were wending our way back to Manchester slowly so we decided to take the Tal-y-Bont turning and drop in for a quick walk along the beach at the Spinnies Reserve. I…
Visit to Cemlyn Bay : 18th July 2013 Whenever we go to Anglesey we make sure to go to the North Wales Wildlife Trust’s reserve at Cemlyn Bay to see the nesting Terns. Again we were a bit late in the year so we were not sure what to expect but, sure enough, there was…
Visit to the Fish Dock at Holyhead : 18th July 2013 After we left South Stack we dropped in at the Fish Dock at Holyhead on the off chance that we might see the Black Guillemots there again and, very obligingly, not only were they there but they gave us a fine flying display showing…
