Guiding on Flamborough Head, May 2026

Busy times... back from a week's guiding at Spurn early in the month, then a few days surveying and catching up, and then to Flamborough for four days guiding my Spring Migration Specials.

   

As is usual the camera stayed unused (actually back in the car for all but one brief session) - nothing worse than a guide prioritising their own views / photos over the clients! - but after everyone had got prolonged views of the birds featured, I sneaked in a couple of digiscoped video clips and a few shots of a fabulously confiding Black Redstart at the fog station.
A lovely few days with a total of 20-odd lovely clients, all of whom enjoyed plenty of migrants, on land, over sea and on the glorious cliffs inbetween at various locations around Flamborough and Bempton.
 

Now, back up to the Highlands for our third Module Two School of Birding (and eleventh School overall) - really looking forward to this one, with a different suite of species hopefully awaiting....
(and if you'd like to join me on my Puffin Specials in late June / Early July, see here!)
