@nutcracker1965 Fewer Dactylorhiza than last year.

On my Flamborough to Bempton Cliffs walk I noticed this aberrant plant of some type of Mayweed approximately two inches across growing in a field sown for wild bird seed. Can anyone say what it is? @BSBIbotany

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

On my Sunday walk from Flamborough Lighthouse to Bempton Cliffs it wasn't all birds. I think that these broad leaved 'chunky' looking orchids are good for Northern Marsh except the second one which has thin spotted leaves possibly indicating some Common Spotted in its heritage.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

Another bird singing it's head off was a Linnet at the RSPB visitor centre Bempton. What a proud looking bird it was.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

These seem to be commoner in the north east than my own place of North Staffordshire. A Tree Sparrow with food in it's beak, so it has chicks somewhere which is nice.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

I've just got to post the classic Gannet shot. Bempton Sunday.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

@Hyosube I didn't see or hear a single one though some in the group did. Common as muck on Crete and Rhodes earlier in the year, we really must improve our environment.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

Bempton Cliffs yesterday with RSPBNorthStaffs. Singing its little heart out, a rather grey looking Meadow Pipit looking at the long and straightish hind claw.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

@nicklin_terry You're not wrong about that Terry.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

A rather distant bottle green Shag yesterday at Bempton with RSPBNorthStaffs. Not that many to be seen.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

@Hyosube Was that the theory about the black iris?

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

I think I know what species this Razorbill stole its' nest site off. Bempton yesterday with RSPBNorthStaffs.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

Look at those fantastic feet. Gannets seen at Bempton yesterday, such graceful big birds.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

@Hyosube Well we are born to a expectedly higher privilege than 'normal' people. I do admit though that some of those owners of glass 'Bazooka's' do have a un-natural urge to get within three foot of any bird (except a real lady)🤣

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

@Hyosube Beautiful place isn't it.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

Bempton Sunday, just look at those delicate white highlights to the Razorbill.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

Bempton yesterday. I'm pretty sure that this is good(ish) for Rock Dove.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

Bempton yesterday, pair of Herring Gulls with three chicks.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

Who doesn't like a comical Puffin, seen at Bempton yesterday.

[Acid John @JohnAcid]

I do like to see the bridled form of Guillemot. The 'plain' form has the same markings, they just don't show as much.
