A Yorkshire Trio

There were strong winds on the East Coast again this weekend but unfortunately from a South-westerly direction, nevertheless I decided to brave the wind and rain and go see what was about, Scarborough Harbour still played host to a couple of Black Necked Grebes and two Med Gulls entertained at Holbeck, there was nothing of note in a very blustery Filey Bay and the Dams was also pretty quiet, I ended up at Flamborough where highlights were a drake Pintail on Thornwick Pools and a Peregrine flying over South Landing but all in all even though it was fairly quiet I had quite an enjoyable day just pottering.

it seems Scarborough Harbour is to their liking, they've been around a while now

showing well at times

the only Auk this week was this Guillemot

although there was a Little Auk just not how I would wish to see them

they are such big brutes

not like the Holbeck charmers
