Good set of shots Ian. Where there many puffins about, I heard they were in short supply up there.
 
Great set of images Ian. Saw a Sigma 50-500 for sale and was drooling over it! Thought of you Ian but don't think it's quite as big as yours!!!! Only thing was it was in Jessops and the price was highway robbery!

No? Did you got to the little bit I described then? Sorry bout that :( I forgot to text it to let it know you were coming :confused:
 
There was a ford? :thinking: I don't recall a ford :shrug: the place I was on about was just before you crossed the bridge?

As you approach the railway station, (about half a mile before) theres a little narrow bridge just on a left hand bend, on the right theres a little turning, down the hill from that turning theres a ford :) i have probably got the wrong bridge lol

This is the bridge i was at, the ford is the left hand fork, i parked there, the weir is just down from the bridge ?

You know, I just looked at that and then on Google Earth, and can I see where it is? NO! :LOL: I can not for the life of me see it on either. But I know it's not where you tried (sorry :confused:) I'll get Chris to try and figure it out tomorrow, he'll know I'm sure :LOL:
 
Stunning mate. the blurred wings work for me.
 
They're absolutely lovely shots :) Love the 'in flight' ones - movement well captured. MK and I were there at the weekend - got soaked on Saturday but were up on the cliffs by 6am on Sunday and it was beautiful (tyhough very windy!). The gannets are stunning - so agile - and just beautiful.

If anyone is looking for a place to stay at Bempton try http://www.bemptonguesthouse.co.uk/

We stayed there for one night and it was fantastic. Very comfortable room and a cooked breakfast the next morning :D Would strongly recommend it.
