Two of the well known summer resident species are seen in this view. In focus and much higher up the cliffs is a Kittieake and much lover the distinctive firm of a Northern Gannet can be made out.

A view from the edge of a cliff in an old quarry. Somme place will still look good, even with a grey sky, like this one.
These cliffs mark near enough the high point of the island of Malta. They are exposed and were particularly windy when we visited.
An observatory can be seen at the far left and what looks like a lookout tower on the right.
Just needed a Kernow fix , so here is a shot down on the beach at Trebarwith Strand .
The ever popular beach of Trebarwith Strand is located around two miles south of Tintagel. It is one of the few easily accessible beaches along this stretch of North Cornwall coast. Now owned by the National Trust the name comes from the Cornish 'Trebervedh Sian'.
The beach at Trebarwith Strand is a long stretch of golden sand backed by flat rocks and beyond these steep cliffs. At low tide the beach extends almost a mile , however as the tide pushes in this all but disappears leaving just the rocks at the base of the cliffs. If you do visit the beach make sure you check the tides before going for a walk - each year a number of people need rescuing after becoming cut off by the tide.
Along the length of the beach are several caves set in the high cliffs, particularly towards the village end. Some of these are quite deep and little eerie if you fancy exploring. The many rock pools along the Strand are less intimidating and contain a wealth of sealife. These little pools make the ideal place for crabs, shrimps, small fish such and the like to hide until the tide returns.
With plenty of facilities and a seasonal lifeguard service Trebarwith Strand is a great family beach. Please not though, only swim when the lifeguards are on duty. Locally it is perhaps best known as a surf beach which picks up plenty of swell. The cliffs at the southern end also provide a little shelter from the wind.
Just around the corner from the main beach is a little cove which has the remains of a harbour. This is Port William (hence the name of the pub) which was formerly used in the export of slate. Another industrial legacy at the Strand is the gully-like pathway carved into the rocks at the beach entrance; this was carved out hundreds of years ago when sand and seaweed were taken from the beach by farmers.
Over the years Trebarwith Strand has been used as a location in several films. These include the 1974 film, "The Seaweed Children", "Saving Grace" (2000), "Oscar and Lucinda" (1997) and the 1996 production of Shakespeare\'s "Twelfth Night". All testimony to this beach\'s stunning natural beauty.

Los acantilados de Étretat son muy famosos por su arco natural conocido como "el ojo de aguja", con una altura de más de 50 m. y el poderoso farallón vertical de 70 metros de altura que se yergue frente a él.
Es llamativo el contraste que se produce entre la piedra blanca y el verde del paisaje, que sumado a la inmensidad del mar y visto desde arriba parece aún más imponente. Son el litoral marítimo de una región tradicional de Normandía que se conoce como País de Caux.
Numerosos artistas como Eugène Boudin, Courbet o Monet, se sintieron atraídos por tan encantador lugar, plasmando en sus lienzos éstos fascinantes paisajes. Aquí también se inspiró Maurice Leblanc para escribir su obra “Aguja Hueca”.

The cliffs of Etretat are very famous for its natural arch known as "needle's eye", with a height of over 50 m. and the powerful vertical cliff 70 meters high that stands before him.
Striking contrast is that between the white stone and the green landscape, which added to the vastness of the sea and from that height looks even more impressive. Are the coastline of a traditional Normandy region known as Pays de Caux.
Many artists like Eugène Boudin, Courbet and Monet, were drawn so lovely place, capturing in his paintings these fascinating landscapes. Here Maurice Leblanc was also inspired to write his book "hollow needle."
The white cliffs stretching from Swanage to Handfast Point on the Dorset coast mark the most easterly stretch of the Jurassic Coast.
Pinnacle rock can be seen with its diamond, pointed shape and Old Harry Rock in the distance. The town of Bournemouth can be seen in the distance.
Not the first time I have posted a shot of the bay at Flamborough but its white cliffs always attract my camera, and will no doubt do so again
