The Lincolnshire Bird Club

Short walk today ..
Sightings of all the regular birds but not mentioned for some reason on tele was lots of puffins..very close views..
Bonus for me was barn owl which was out in the misty cold drizzle..
Was hoping for a cafe in which one could sit down & eat in new shop but saying that the counter that sells food had a really good choice..
From visits before im that used to leaving membership card in the car for parking..but now they ask for card inside..no signs up explaining the change..so walk back to car needed..
Really hoping when I'm there tomorrow at 6am that the shorty will be around.
Unfortunately my Mrs has entered me for a 5k run at Sewerby tomorrow..more like 4.5k walk for me!
The staff were really polite & nice to talk to & very helpful.

An opportunity missed during removations. Bempton has sufficiently high footfall to make a cafe worthwhile. Means there'll still be no place (outside your own car) to sit down and eat away from cold weather and windy conditions that blow all the sand & dust into your eyes and food! Guess we'll still be bringing our own sandwiches to eat, then.... *Facepalm*

Back from first visit today at Bempton and Flamborough Head. Of course it was rather windy and cold but well worth a visit for the amount of lifers.

Got to see the big 5; Puffins much trickier to see than expected. Best views came from one that emerged from a burrow at Flamborough. Other highlights include a Rough-legged Buzzard on the way there + 1 White Wagtail and a Grey Seal. Didn't get to see the Skuas or Fulmars that were reported on BirdGuides.

Regards,

Josh
