BEMPTON CLIFFS -, near Bridlington in Yorkshire, Bempton has the largest sea cliffs in Britain and is a spectacular place to visit with wonderful views of sea birds. These are some of the picturres I took in May 2007.
|
||
GANNET - an absolute favourite, this large sea bird spends most of its life on the open sea, except during the breeding season, which is when I took these pictures. It has a wing span of nearly 2 metrres!!
|
||
|
||
| . and a pair ...... | ||
|
||
| and in groups along the cliff face | ||
 |
||
| and again, demonstrating the magnificent wing-span | ||
|
||
RAZORBILL From the Auk family, like the Gannet - this is a sea bird coming to the cliff face only at the breeding season and can be distinguished by the unusual bill!! |
||
|
||
| FULMAR - a gull like bird which guards its single egg, and if provoked, will eject a stream of half digested food at the visitor!! It can be on target for about a metre and a half!!! | ||
 |
||
| PUFFIN - a huge favourite!! | ||
  |
||
.....and looking the other way

Such a variety of sea birds to see at Bempton - these are just a few samples of the thousands that breed here in May to July every year.
