One other early rise discovered us at Flamborough South Touchdown by 07.30: what a stunning place! Plenty of auks and Kittiwakes flying by, in addition to a number of Shags, seven of which perched on a big buoy. Star chicken right here was a juvenile drake Eider fairly shut in.
After slogging again up the steep hill, we moved the quick distance to Dane’s Dyke, strolling down the equally steep path to the chalky seaside. From right here the Shags have been a lot nearer, however there was nothing new accessible, so we determined to go to the Lighthouse cliffs. After a cup of tea we walked to the seawatching conceal: shut by was a pleasant Puffin and many seals. A stroll proper round gave us good views of some respectable butterflies and dozens of orchids.
We drove the few miles to Thornwick Swimming pools, the place we relaxed and ate our lunch, earlier than passing our previous visitor home on the way in which to Hoddy Cow Lane. An extended stroll within the Solar gave us fleeting views of Lesser Whitethroat Yellowhammer and Linnet, however no Corn Bunting, sadly..
