Hi Tim,
Excellent picture- I was at Bempton Friday morning-got there nice and early and had the cliffs all to myself and a few thousand Birds :biggrin: . The biggest let down at the moment is there are so few Puffins around :confused: . I was there for about 5 hours and only saw 2 birds on the cliffs and a few down below on the water. Hope they are just late arriving and that all their food hasn't moved North !!!
