The base of Bempton cliffs at the end of Filey bay. You can just make out lots of Gannets flying around the cliffs.

Die Cliffs of Moher sind die bekanntesten Steilklippen Irlands. Sie liegen an der Südwestküste der irischen Hauptinsel im County Clare nahe den Ortschaften Doolin und Liscannor.
Die Klippen ragen an vielen Stellen nahezu senkrecht aus dem atlantischen Ozean und erstrecken sich über mehr als acht Kilometer. Am Südende, dem Hag’s Head, haben sie eine Höhe von ungefähr 120 m, nördlich des O’Brien’s Tower erreichen sie sogar 214 m.
Am 8. Februar 2007 wurde das Besucherzentrum mit befestigten Gehwegen fertiggestellt. Der etwa 200 Meter lange Teil des Besucherwegs, der sich bis zum O’Brien’s Tower erstreckt, wurde aus Sicherheitsgründen seitlich durch bis zu 1,40 Meter hohe Steinplatten begrenzt, so dass die Besucher nicht mehr direkt bis an das Cliff herantreten können. Seitdem ist die Sicht auf die Klippen eingeschränkt.
The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland.[2][3] They rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head and reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres to the north.

Nests are made from seaweed, plants, earth and debris from the sea. The males usually collect the materials. Nests are compact cups typically 30–60 cm (12–24 in) in height. The area which a nest occupies grows throughout the breeding season as the breeding pairs throw their excrement outside the nest. Over years, nests can reach 2m (6+1⁄2 ft) in height. (Wikipedia).
Gannets arrive on mass to gather nesting material.

Impresionantes siempre mis paseos por los acantilados del parque Natural de la Sierra Helada.
Lovely walks around these impressive local cliffs when I need to dissconect from my daily routines.

So on the second day of the year I found myself wide eyed and bushy tailed at 5.30 am and could not fall back to sleep so for the first time ever got myself down to my local before 6am and was surprised the beach was full of health conscious folks doing their thing and these brave souls daring the seas. Not long after these waves crashed right next to them the guy on the left retreated quick smart to the side of the cliff whereas the other shifted one step to the left and continued right on with what he was doing...lucky the seas calmed down somewhat.
Other than that I wasn't rewarded with a beautiful sunrise but rather a cloudy one.

We saw quite a few of these beautiful birds and their song was a frequent soundtrack to our surroundings.
So here is one, having caught it mid-itch
They were common enough, that few people stopped to watch them - but I continue to love "the ordinary birds" and likely will always try to get extraordinary pictures, of 'ordinary birds'.

We spent a wonderful three hours walking along the cliffs. We started at Longhaven and finished at Slains Castle.
The sun is shining but the sky is mainly gray on this stormy day without much rain near Point Bonita at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. Note the broken piers where lifeboats used to be launched to save ships in trouble.
The Aberystwyth Cliff Railway / Rheilffordd y Graig opened on 1 August 1896. It is a 778 feet (237 m) long funicular railway in Aberystwyth and is the second longest funicular railway in the British Isles, after the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Since November 1987, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway has been a Grade II listed structure.
The Cliff Railway was developed as an element of Constitution Hill, a Victorian business venture by the Aberystwyth Improvement Company in the 1890s. The funicular took visitors to the top of the hill, where attractions such as a camera obscura were established. The cliff railway was originally a water balance system, but it was electrified during 1921
The cliff railway was originally a cable-drawn balanced system moving a pair of cars, with a maximum capacity of 30 passengers, permanently connected via a continuous cable.[1] When opened, it operated using a water balance system, which used a Worthington Corporation compound steam engine water pump housed in the lower station to move water to the upper station. Each passenger car had a tank in their chassis that could hold 4 tonnes of water. Water was added to the tank of the top car, which descended under gravity, hauling the lighter lower car on the parallel track to the top station.
The railway is straight, ascending about 430 feet (130 m) over a horizontal distance of 778 feet (237 m), a maximum gradient of more than 1:2 (50 per cent). The gauge is 4 ft 8 in (1,422 mm), slightly narrower than standard gauge, and laid on timber sleepers.
In 1921, the railway was electrified using a 41 kW ATB AG [de] Morley DC motor. In 1934, after changes to the town’s electricity supply, a mercury arc rectifier and transformer were installed in the lower station to provide a 440V DC power output. The cars are moved using a high-tensile steel cable attached to both vehicles. It passes around a drum, mounted on a vertical axis between the tracks at the top. The motor drives the drum controlled by an automated cut-off which stops the motor and the cars when required.
