A Day at the Coast Part 2

After Bempton we went on to Filey, mostly for a look around at rock pools on the brig before the tide came in and also ice cream!


It wasn't that busy to say it had ended up being such a nice day. There were Herring Gulls everywhere and one was even having a go at the crazy golf........


Onto the Brig where we were hoping for a Starfish but not today, we didn't have a huge amount of time, we wanted to be back on the beach before the tide cut us off. We saw a couple of tiny fish, crabs, Periwinkles, anemones and lots of different types of seaweed. I spent a few holidays here as a child and checking out the rock pools was always fun!







Beadlet Anemone? 


I wonder how long some of the Barnacles and Limpets have been on the rocks!


Before leaving we stopped briefly at Filey Dams, it was quiet bird wise, Coot, Mallard, Woodpigeon, BH and Herring Gulls. Mostly we were surround by butterflies, bees and damselflies. A nice way to end the day.

  1. Tide pools bring out the kid in us doesn't it? I could spend hours just skipping from one pool to the next. We had our share of Ice Cream the past 4 days!

  2. Lovely! I used to spend a bit of time in this area as a child as my Great aunt and uncle had a holiday home not far from Filey! I always enjoy revisiting and your post is making me yearn for a trip to the coast!

    1. It's lovely, my aunt and uncle lived there and my cousins are still in the area too. I always wish I was just a little bit closer and it was easier to get to!

  3. Lovely post - there are few things more enjoyable than exploring rock pools - always brings out the child in us I think :)

    Hope your cold is better - a nasty throat and cough virus went through our family a few weeks ago :(

    1. They are lots of fun, we need to go back when there is more time! Yes I'd been left with an awful throat and cough though I must admit all the fresh air this weekends seems to have helped!
