I don't know where this Jackdaw had been or what it had been doing but it did look distinctly scruffy. Along with the usual seabirds at Bempton there are also good views of various pigeons and Jackdaws seen gliding along the tops of the cliffs.

Another Razorbill comes in to land on the cliffs at Bempton. There was plenty of room elsewhere which shows that these birds are sociable and would rather squeeze in next to a few neighbours than find a lovely pew.
If you zoom in you will be able to see a few flies around the birds. We noticed quite a few on this trip.
All along the cliffs at Bempton it is a common sight to see birds warding one and other off their territory. Here a pair of Gannet are involved in a bit of a territorial squabble.

Enjoyed watching this Gannet. He gave us a show of about 5 minutes, stretching, flapping his wings then turned around as if to say... well... how did I do?
Puffins are understood to make for life. This pair certainly seem to be close, although there arn’t that many spaces on the ledges at Bempton Cliffs.

These auks have a very small territory on rocky ledges, so small that it only extends a beak’s-length. A single egg is laid directly onto the bare rock - no nest as such is made. Once its chick is three weeks old, it will dive off the cliff into the sea with its father.
