RSPB Bempton Cliffs today, still good numbers of Gannets on the cliffs with chicks. Some chicks may not leave the nest site until early November! Big numbers still on the sea of all age classes. Super views from cliff path and viewpoints providing superb flight and nest photos! #SuperSeabirdSunday
Juvenile Northern Gannet from Bartlett Nab viewpoint today.

Another decent day at RSPB Bempton. Pallid Swift, Pallas’s Warbler & Yellow-browed Warbler. My rubbish record shots of the Pallid here, but thankfully other guys got clinching images! 👍🏻

At RSPB Bempton, the very popular Ring Ouzel cleared off last night. But possibly a second Yellow-browed Warbler arrived late afternoon. Time and decent autumn weather running out, but still a slim chance of a big rare! 🤔

At RSPB Bempton Cliffs, away from the crowding passerine migrants in scrub areas, the chalk cliff-face seabird colony thrives with masses of young Gannets ‘guga’s’, preparing to leave over next 6 weeks! Huge numbers have already successfully left 🙏🏼

At RSPB Bempton Cliffs the autumn migration has started! Sprinkling of 5 Pied Flys, 2 Spotted, 8+ Whinchats, plenty Sylvia & leaf warblers, Yellow Wagtails and Common Rosefinch were highlights. Both scarce here, were singles of Willow Emerald and Small Red-eyed Damsels!

At RSPB Bempton Cliffs today, 2 Pied Fly’s, just over 50 Willow Warblers and at least 9 Chiffchaffs in waves passing through scrub mid-morning onwards. The jewel that is … a stunning Wood Warbler! Elusive but showed well on & off to early evening at least.

After decades of hope, finally nailed Red-veined Darter at Bempton RSPB Reserve today! Of course a scorching male, and constitutes first reserve record! Also a reserve 3rd record of Black-tailed Skimmer, an immature male. Hopefully more to come over the week ahead 🙏🏼

Another decent year at RSPB Bempton Cliffs in 2024, but can 2025 be another good one? Here’s three of the best from the autumn, Pale-legged Leaf Warbler, Daurian Shrike & Red-Flanked Bluetail. Happy New Year and good luck everyone!

Daurian Shrike at Bempton RSPB appeared day after the Pale-legged Leaf Warbler left. Decent autumn so far with some decent weather on way this week 🤞🏼
