A Trip To The Seaside

With a lack of target birds around just lateley I thought I would pay a visit to Bempton Cliffs for a shot at the seabirds.
My plan was to get there for dawn with a hope of some good effects of orange sun on white birds.
It almost payed off but for a big black cloud just in the wrong place at the wrong time.The cloud eventually passed but the light had gone from orange to pale yellow.
Back to the birds and it was a real spectacle with what appeared to be good numbers of most species, especially puffins.
Even the herring gulls looked quite dazzling in natural surroundings.
There were plenty of meadow pipits and the odd whitethroat amongst them plus a couple of sedge warblers near the visitor centre.
As the sun rose it became a little harsh for photography but as a spectacle there is nowhere better.
