\n\tCLUB TRIP: BEMPTON CLIFFS – SUNDAY, 1 JUNE 2014<\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn late spring, this RSPB site on the Yorkshire coast is one of the most exciting, busy, noisy – and smelly – birding sites imaginable.  It is particularly noted for up to 200,000 cliff-dwelling birds that call those precipitous ledges home for a few months each year.  Guillemots, Razorbills, Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Gannets and Puffins are virtually guaranteed, along with a range of gulls and other sea-going species such as Cormorant.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRaptors are sometimes in evidence, with Peregrine using the cliffs as a useful larder, Red Kite sightings on the increase, and a Short-eared Owl regularly seen patrolling the flat farmland back from the cliffs, where a range of summer visitors are also to be found.  On the club’s last trip to Bempton five years ago, Whitethroat, Linnet, Sedge Warbler and Corn Bunting joined resident Tree Sparrows, Reed Buntings, Meadow Pipits and Skylarks among the ploughed fields, scrub and hedgerows.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs well as several cliff-top viewpoints, there is a visitor centre with feeding stations that attract the usual seed and nut eaters including various tits, sparrows and finches.  While most visitors are content with these viewing stations, the more energetic souls may fancy walking down to Flamborough Head … and don’t worry, we won’t forget you!\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTransport will leave from Carsington Water Visitor Centre at 7.45am.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe cost is expected to be around £15-20 (under-16s £10).  Please send a £10 deposit per person, along with the booking form, to secure your place.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n
