Day 9

We travelled over 300 miles south today to Whitby, stopping at Glenshee again (the Ring Ouzel and Wheatear were still present) and North Berwick (we had lunch on the beach with a great view of Bass Rock). Tomorrow we will be visiting Bempton Cliffs before heading home.

Highlights:
Red Grouse
Ring Ouzel
Wheatear
Eider Duck
Puffin
Gannet
Kittiwake
Common Gull

Total number of species of bird heard or seen after day 9: 84
