430 miles for 6 new ticks!

Marsh Lane has proved just a little bit fruitless lately with no new ticks being added for quite some time, so this Sunday we packed the car up and headed for Bempton Cliffs & North Yorkshire Moors.
The weather was glorious, sunny and very warm with a small breeze to keep you just cool enough!
The plan was to hit Bempton for the Puffins, of which we did manage to see, but only very fleeting glimpse's as they darted in and out of their nesting burrows! So, no photo's :-(

The Gannets however were nowhere near as private and sat in the sun happy for the snaps -

By 11:00 Bempton was getting busy, very busy! so off we go for a drive over the moors.
A short stop for some lunch and we could hear the distant call of a Golden Plover, after a little bit of searching we found him, although he was quite some distance away -

So the 6 new ticks were -

1. Puffin
2. Guillemot
3. Gannet
4. Fulmar
5. Golden Plover
6. Red Grouse
