For the last week before half term we spent 3 days in Scarborough. We usually started in the harbour, where the best bird was a Black-necked Grebe, which showed well, especially early in the week. Later, when things calmed down on Friday, it may have made its way onto the sea.

The Great Northern Diver appeared on the Tuesday, and was seen on the sea after that, but was very distant by Friday afternoon.

On one day we saw a Shag in the harbour, but on other days they were well out on the sea.

On most days we saw a Guillemot around the harbour, but on Thursday a Razorbill took its place.

Every day there were plenty of confiding Turnstones around the harbour. We saw Purple Sandpipers on Friday afternoon, but the light wasn't right for photographs.

The Rock Pipits were usually seen on Marine Drive, but on Friday afternoon one was on a boulder under the harbour.

On Thursday we found a young Grey Seal pup in the harbour, which was still present on Friday morning. Unfortunately, when I took its photo on my mobile, a crowd gathered, and the general public attempted to do the same. You had to lean right over the jetty to take its photo!

After the harbour we walked along Marine Drive to try and see the Peregrines. Occasionally we saw a pair perched only a few feet apart from each other. They looked pretty inert perched on the cliff, but occasionally they performed exciting fly pasts.

Once we had a good look at the Peregrines we moved on to a derelict cafe area to try & find the Black Redstart. This was only really successful on Thursday, both morning and afternoon.

From the cafe area we moved to Scalby Mills. There were hundreds of Wigeons and gulls here, but with nothing of scarcity value. The best bird was probably a distant Red-throated Diver seen on Friday morning.

After classes some people went on to Forge Valley for the Nuthatches, whilst the Friday morning group went on to the raptor viewpoint where they had good views of Crossbills. Meanwhile a couple from Friday afternoon found a female Scaup on Scarborough Mere.
