Brian, Norman and I made the 4 hour drive by way of the Fens and Wolds to Flamborough, arriving at round 10am. We went straight to Bempton Cliffs RSPB reserve and, as all the time, marvelled on the spectacle of tens of 1000’s of seabirds at shut vary. Numbers of Gannets appeared barely down on final 12 months, however there have been undoubtedly extra Puffins! Regardless of a 5 mile circuit of the reserve we did not handle particular views of Corn Bunting – our solely ‘dip’. Peregrine and Shag have been surprising bonuses.
After checking in at our regular terrific accomodation – the Cameron Courtroom – we spruced up earlier than strolling to the Rose and Crown for dinner and quiz night time: we got here third out of fifteen – not dangerous for a group of simply three outdated geezers!
