A 2000 miles journey through the Peak & Lakes district to the Scottish Highlands to discover the NC500 and some of its surrounding.
There was quite the drama taking place right in front of our eyes. Large schools of fish breaking the surface hunted from the air and the sea. Whales surfacing, Gannets diving, Black Guillemots "flying" underwater.......All we needed was David Attenborough's narration to complete the "Blue Planet Experience."

The mocking cliff chat, mocking chat or cliff chat, is a species of chat in the family Muscicapidae which occurs in rocky habitats in much of eastern Sub-Saharan Africa.
The mocking cliff chat is a large chat with distinctive colouration. The male has a glossy black with a chestnut belly, vent, and rump and white shoulder patches. The shoulder patches vary in size geographically. The female is dark grey with a chestnut lower breast, belly, and vent. The mocking cliff chat has a length of 19–21 cm and weigh 41–51g.
A loud fluty melodious warbling song which often contains many rapid fire phrases mimicking other species, with some harsher phrases interspersed.
The mocking cliff chat occurs in a neat band from central Ethiopia in the north through east Africa into Zimbabwe, south-eastern Botswana, southern Mozambique and eastern South Africa as far as the far east of Western Cape province. Mostly resident but in the south of its range tends to move to lower altitudes in the winter months.
The mocking cliff chat inhabits rocky and boulder strewn areas, well-wooded rocky ravines, cliffs, gullies, boulder-strewn hillsides and watercourses in valley bottoms with scattered rocks.
There are six currently recognised subspecies

Whilst on my Virtual Road trip, I’m staying on the east coast for a bit. Doesn’t matter what the weather, nothing will stop me (well, perhaps the small matter of a pandemic!!..) from a trip to Bempton Cliffs for a spot of bird watching.
from the whale watching platform at the head of the bight, south australia, you can see the eastern end of the legendary bunda cliffs, a 60m high wall formed where the nullarbor plain terminates abruptly at the great australian bight
these dramatic cliffs form the coastline unbroken for nearly 200km before swinging inland near the western australian border to become the wylie scarp (for 100s of kms more)
