Trip To Bempton Cliffs

[Kinobe]

Took a trip to Bempton Cliffs a couple of weeks back. Nearly turned back as it chucked it down but upon arrival the sun came out.
An enjoyable day and lots of action. Gannet, Tukenstan Red Tailed Shrike, Tree Sparrows and a chance to try out the Z9 and 600F4 in good weather.

All lovely pictures but also some very special ones in there. Well done

Thank you for the comments. It was definitely worth the 3 hour drive and hoping to go back again before the gannets migrate. There are a number of trails which I'll definitely walk next time. Sparrows were really tame and saw quite a few linnets.

What a beautiful bird the Shrike is, very well captured.

Lovely images and the Shrike is a real bonus

Thanks Steve. If weather stays like this and Shrike is still around I’d like to go back.
