Flamborough Cliffs nature reserve consists of three sections, Breil, Holmes and Thornwick, each with their own character but all important for the seabird colonies nesting on the 100-foot high sheer chalk cliffs.
Flamborough, East Riding of Yorkshire.
(363/365) After another short bout of illness, I ventured out to Babbacombe Downs, and to have a trip on the cliff railway, something that's on my doorstep but that I've never visited until today - 22nd March 2026
I love the San Juan Mountains when the oaks, willows, aspen and cottonwoods go through their colors. If you zoom in on this shot, you will seen a green aspen clone surrounded by yellow clones.
Flamborough Head has one of the most important seabird colonies in Europe. In summer the cliffs are packed with tens of thousands of breeding auks, gannets and gulls creating a memorable experience. The chalk grassland, especially in Holmes Gut, is rich in flowers attracting butterflies and a number of uncommon moths.
I really enjoyed giving the talk last night, I miss that interaction with people . It was nearly a disaster as the laptop wouldn't load my powerpoint presentation up until a minute before the start, with a packed audience waiting :)))) All's well that ends well. People said it was a wonderful presentation, one of the best they've seen, so I was very happy. I finished the talk to a sunset and me singing this John Prine song, I remember everything, as it had butterflies in the lyrics. This is one of those beautiful rare days when the mist sweeps over the cliffs .
A ground shot further inside the canyon gives a better sense of scale to those amazing cliffs inside Zion National Park.

Northern Gannets mate for life. Young birds reach maturity between the ages of four and five. They begin breeding between late February and April. The females lay one single egg at the end of April, and the parents share incubation duties for six weeks. The egg hatches in early June and the chick fledges in late August and through September.

The Sonoma Coast has been putting on a show the past week. Monster waves, high tides and beautiful light has made it special, that's for sure. I've been fortunate enough to get out a couple days and enjoy what the Sonoma Coast has been offering. Every time I go out and photograph on the SC, I find myself taking a moment and feeling extremely grateful to be able to enjoy, photograph and experience this place as much as I'm able to because it's home.

Karlby Klint is connected to the even higher Sangstrup Klint. The two spectacular cliffs are separated by nothing but a wide river valley.
At Karlby Klint, fossils are found everywhere. On the beach, it is quite easy to find fossilised sea urchins between the vast quantities of flint that have been washed up in an impressive beach ridge.
Sadly there was a fire in the pump room a couple of weeks ago, which may mean it is out of action for a while.

All tucked in and cozy, this lonely, abandoned homestead has stood the test of time. The stone structure is sheltered from the winds, nestled into this Grand Dike, and is still steadfast and livable with a little TLC.
