Also at Bempton...

It's not just Gannets at Bempton Cliffs - there are also auks aplenty, gulls and the odd tubenose to look down on. In the nicest possible sense, of course.
Puffins are a favourite with the visitors
Small numbers breed near the clifftop among the commoner auks


Probably the best place in mainland England to see Puffin up close
Razorbill
Bridled Guillemot
Kittiwake
These birds nest on the tiniest of ledges

100m chalk cliffs provide a dramatic location for the seabird colony
