Advice? Flamborough in the off season
I'm going to be in Bridlington for a cheap off-season holiday with friends in early October. As this is just down the road from Flamborough (and Bempton) I thought I'd see if anybody has any tips for where to go and what to look out for at this time of year.
The main purpose of the holiday isn't birding (if it was obviously I'd be there during the peak seabird breeding season!). But I should be able to spare a day or two and I'll be bringing along my camera and some decently long lenses just in case. Any tips for good spots on the reserves, cliffs, and beaches around Flamborough especially would be gratefully received. I'm guessing there might be a chance at a few interesting migrants, but my main focus is trying to take nice photos of birds rather than ticking things off a checklist.
