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.
We went to Bempton Cliffs for an impromptu day out last week! It was lovely to see the Gannets and the other seabirds again, such a lovely place to visit.

Having seen some super images taken by a Flickr pal at Bempton cliffs I thought it was about time we made a visit. Mine arn't a patch on Dave Cappleman's but I have vowed to return when I have a bit more time to make a better job.
Here's one of the better results from today which shows one of the many thousands of pairs of nesting Gannets.

Something a bit different
If you have never had the opportunity to go to Bempton this is a small part of what you are missing. This is just one of several cliff faces all packed with birds and there are platforms thoughtfully placed (see top of cliff) for people to view them. It's all in glorious 3D. You can SEE THEM, HEAR THEM and SMELL THEM.
A Herring Gull is seen on the cliff tops at Bempton. As always it is on the lookout for food of any sort.
We visited Bempton Cliffs again this year, hopefully to see the Albatross, sadly it decided to stay away that day but we still had an amazing day although it was ridiculously busy. Well worth a visit! This little guy posed beautifully for Carol.
The sea birds start to arrive at Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire the largest colony in Europe. It was fabulous being up here on this day with hardly any other person around..
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS, AWARDS AND FOR ANY INVITES
Visit to a cliff bird sanctuary. Went looking for Puffins, had to settle for Gannets, Razorbills and Guillemots - amongst others, but no Puffins.

There are many thousands of Northern Gannets at Bempton - the UK provides a home to two-thirds of the world's population, Bempton being an important breeding site. Gannets are specially adapted to withstand the impact of diving into the sea in search of food.
Bempton Cliffs are a great place to see wildlife not just seabirds. The RSPB staff and volunteers are hugely helpful and the visitors follow that example - always someone to chat to.
