Still slowly working through the images from Bempton. It is a wonderful place to see birds that you wouldn't necessarily associate with the sea. Here is a selection of birds I captured whilst walking to and from the main sites.
Meadow Pipit
The fields that back onto the cliffs are full of Meadow Pipits, Skylarks and Reed Buntings. They usually sit on the cliff edge fence and watch the world go by. You can approach them to within a reasonable distance before they fly off.
Kestrel
We watched this Kestrel for some time. As usual with any bird of prey they didn't seem to be doing anything but sitting with an uninterested air to them. This Kestrel was in fact watching something just across the ravine. Suddenly it was off and flew into the other side of the ravine with a loud thud. We couldn't see if it had caught anything as it flew off towards the sea.
Jackdaw
As with most other members of the Corvis family the the Jackdaw has an eye for the main chance. This one was sitting on a fence by the main car park on the look out for scraps of food that may be thrown its way. Whilst this is not a sea bird there are a large number of Jackdaws that nest on the cliffs next to Kittiwakes and Guillemots.
