Train trip: Filey in December

The run of cloudy days continues, but it was sheltered at Filey bay. The tide was high and rising, so I decided against walking to the Brigg. Instead, I walked along Carr Naze, more exposed at the top of the cliff. At the north side of the Naze, several pairs of Fulmars circled tirelessly or sat on nests. Hundreds of Guillemots flew from the sea and stood shoulder to shoulder on cliff ledges. A Kestrel took advantage of the updraft over the cliff slopes.

At high tide, 24 Oystercatchers fed on the country park fields.
I walk back to Filey, to my favourite cafe, Frothies, for coffee and lunch before I take my train back.
