Just back from a few weeks away and have plenty gf images to work my way through.
Image taken at Bempton Cliffs.
Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.
The spectacular nature of the Gannet is well shown in this photo. Being a few hundred feet above the North Sea there was no chance of being able to photograph the spectacular dive of the Gannet, so the next best option was to catch one as it came in to land.
Photo taken last Sunday at Bempton Cliffs. As can be seen I was using just 200mm of zoom at this point so these Gannets were really close to the public footpath.
Taken at Bempton at the weekend. The Gannets come ridiculously close to the path and are easy to photograph but of all the images I took, I wasn't particularly happy with any. This image was a bit different. By complete chance, a second Gannet photo bombed the scene and I quite like how the two heads are neatly interlocked.
This solitary and immaculate looking Herring Gull was spotted high up on the cliffs at Bempton. I presume being opportunist it was waiting for something to crop up. Perhaps it was a little early for seabird chicks but with so many birds close-by I am sure that this adult bird has learnt that there will be a chance of a meal sooner or later.
An annual visit to the sea cliffs at Bempton brings with it the sight, sound and yes, smell of the huge seabird colony. The most prominent are the hugely impressive Gannets. Pairs bond for life and reaffirm that bond every year at their breeding grounds. This bonding process includes rubbing their beaks together and entwine their necks.
The Red-tailed Shrike or Turkestan Shrike, Lanius phoenicuroides that was at Bempton Cliffs today. A stunning and very obliging bird. The first of many shots I managed to get of it.

This forcible eviction first started on some prime real estate on Bempton Cliffs and then carried on in mid-air after the squatter tried to flee.

Using a combination of wings, raised tail and lowered webbed feet this gannet was able to hover perfectly in the strong onshore winds.

Puffins are rather ungainly in flight but make good use of updraughts to control their approach to land, info: RSPB.
