Long-eared Owl

The Cliffs!
After the
Desert Warbler dip it would've been nice for the next twitch to be successful but unfortunately it wasn't to be. A
Black-browed Albatross had been seen hanging around Bempton Cliffs RSPB reserve in East Yorkshire and some amazingly gripping photos appeared online as it flew over the cliffs at eye level so myself and the Moreton brothers headed up. It'd disappeared the day before around 11am and hadn't been seen again so we weren't feeling too optimistic and so it proved with no sign all day. There were however some year ticks to be had.
The first was the strange sight of a
Tree Sparrow feeding on seed heads on the cliff itself!
Kittiwake,
Puffin and
Fulmar were noted and I finally ticked a lone
Sand Martin for 2020. The best bird of the day was a
Long-eared Owl which sat on a fence post for over 5 minutes affording decent views.
Fingers crossed for actually connecting on the next twitch!
