Bempton cliffs is a chalk faced sea bird breeding colony. The height of the cliffs is around 100m/330ft.
Looking towards Scarborough the Seaside resort.
Alas due to a significant Worldwide population decline the Kittiwake has been on our Red list since 2021.
As seen here they nest on small coastal cliff ledges, which offer protection for their chicks from larger gulls. Finding an available ledge at Brampton isn't easy on account of the competition from other seabirds. This pair seem to have found just enough room for their two chicks.
And don't they look it.
Th appearance of an adult Gannet with its colourful head, striking blue eye and clean feathers is a real head turner.

As mentioned earlier after today I may not be in a position to log on for a little while.

Having returned from my African holidays with a huge number of photos any shots I have taken since return have been delayed uploads. To try and redress the balance a little here is one from a recent visit with friends to the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs.

Yesterday we took our first trip to the coast since we left Scarborough last September. Keeping well clear of the crowds we chose to make an early morning visit to the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs.
As always there were good numbers of birds to be seen, especially gannets. Puffins seemed to be there in decent numbers as well, but as is often the case they tend to be found on out of the way ledges. As a result most of the time we could only see them as they came and went at the speed of light. Here's one that I managed to photograph just as it was coming in to land on an out of sight ledge just below our vantage point.
