This weekend's snow did not stop our hardy visitors - and what a treat they had.
A bitterm, of all things, blew in on Sunday, making it quite possibly a first for the reserve. Of all the birds you wouldn't expect to find at Bempton Cliffs, I'm sure this guy would be high on the list! The bird hung around all day, resting up in an area not far from the visitor centre. We think it might have been pushed over from the continent by severe weather.
The desert wheatear is starting to look like a fixture on the reserve, again delighting visitors over the weekend.
And around 70 tree sparrows, in the sniow and lovely winter sunshine, are certainly drawing lot of admiring comments.
What's next this week, I wonder?
