Cloughton Day 6 - Thursday 30/10/25 - Bempton, Bridlington & Bryherstones

We drove down to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, on a beautiful sunny day.  It was lovely just to walk along the carefully made paths across the field to the cliff edge.  We initially went south.  There were not many different types of birds.  It's the wrong time of year for puffins, unfortunately.  We did see:
Pigeons (rock pigeons, they're known as) - grey on top, white underneath.  Flocks of them have adapted to live on the cliffs. I had to wonder, "what are their predators?"
Jackdaws - with a less pronounced grey than the ones that occupy our fields at home. And possibly Fieldfare, but it was difficult to tell at the distance we were at, they could have been more pigeons.
We had already done a lot of walking, for my dodgy leg, when Jo found a show in Bridlington, so as it's just a little further on we drove down there. Bridlington, was not a beautiful town, it was like a slightly down-market Southend.  We parked in a car park (that had been a demolition site) and rushed to the theatre to book for Friday Night.  There were still seats available, so our tickets were issued, and we rushed back to the car, with minutes to spare before the unforgiving cameras dealt us a penalty charge.
After returning to the cottage for a short time, we drove to the Bryherstones Country Inn for a big, end of holiday dinner.  The Inn is just across the valley, but the drive is a couple of miles.  I checked for a walking route, but it is not suitable in the dark.  The food was server properly hot and arrived quickly - we enjoyed our three-course meal and tea afterwards, and were very full on our return to the cottage.
