The high cliffs of Bempton Cliffs, North Yorkshire Heritage Coast.

 

A nesting place for lots of birds, thus a paradise for birdwatchers!

 

It is best known for its breeding seabirds, including northern gannet, Atlantic puffin, razorbill, common guillemot, black-legged kittiwake and fulmar.

 

Bempton Cliffs is home to the only mainland breeding colony of gannets in England.

The birds arrive at the colony from January and leave in August and September.

 

The hard chalk cliffs at Bempton rise are relatively resistant to erosion and offer lots of sheltered headlands and crevices for all nesting birds.

 

The cliffs run about 6 miles (10 km) from Flamborough Head north towards Filey and are over 330 feet (100 m) high at points.

 

The cliffs at Bempton are some of the highest in England.

It is very impressive to stand there on the dizziing heights!

 

When visiting, prepare yourself for the mega-noise of the screeching above and below!

 

Have a wonderful day, filled with love and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)
