SS15 wildlife watching

This blog was set up in mid-March 2020 during the emerging COVID-19 health crisis in the UK. It initially aimed to provide records of wildlife sightings and photographs from sites within walking distance of my home in the SS15 postcode area of Basildon in Essex during lockdown travel restrictions. Even though the pandemic has largely subsided, this blog continues to include my local wildlife sightings, my trips away from home plus some personal thoughts and reflections on other issues.

RSPB Bempton Cliffs - Fulmars

Fulmars are one of my favourite seabirds. They are like mini-albatrosses in the way that they behave but nothing like the "Big One"!

On this visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, I only saw c.20 Fulmars but fortunately they are relatively easy to photograph as they glide past or hang in the updrafts off the cliff edge.
