Little Owls 2018 to 2021

A catch up selection of Little Owl photographs, very much a favorite, loaclly to Scarborough and very luckily just 5 minutes from where I work, so all are the odd quick lunch time photograh.

A catch up selection of Barn Owl photographs, very much a favorite, from various places loaclly to Scarborough, including Wykeham Lakes, Scalby and Thorpe Bassett (near Malton)

Norfolk October 2021

A run down of photos from a cracking few days spent on the north Norfolk Coast on late October 2021. We stayed at Heacham and spent days wandering the beaches at Heacham, Thornham and Hunstanton, with trips to RSPB Snettisham and Titchwell, with a day at NWT Cley Marshes. We missed the large wader fest at RSPB Snettisham as the tides were never high enough to bring them over our heads to the Marshes and feeding pools, but there is always a next time!!

Black Browed Albatross 2021

Time to start up and catch up with my long running blog which has not been updated since early 2016!!! Naughty, Naughty, Naughty!!! So to restart probably the best bird I have ever seen!!! Worth all the exclamation marks, honestly, a BLACK BROWED ALBATROSS at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. It only took 3 visits and a few hours of waiting, for the views, to get better and better, certainly a 'hairs standing up on the back of your neck moment'!!! Hopefully it will return with the Gannets in 2022.
