Good Friday visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs

RSPB Reserve - Bempton Cliffs 25/03/2016

A lovely sunny Good Friday, so a trip to the east coast to see somewhere I've always wanted to visit. Although, going on the first day of the Easter break was not really a good idea traffic wise!! :(



A Jackdaw foraging on the cliff edge


Fantastic views of the cliff faces


Gannets finding partners and nesting sights


As well as Kittiwakes doing the same






Spectacular viewing points to get close and really good views of the sea birds






A pair of Gannets doing the mating ritual was very nice to watch


Lovely birds, extremely photogenic in my opinion















Sadly, I didn't get to see any Puffins. I was told they were being a bit elusive as it is a bit early for them but did manage to spot a few Razorbills and Guillemots, but at a distance.

I will be back to visit during the height of the visiting season.

For anyone who has not been to Bempton Cliffs, I'd highly recommend it. The White Horse Pub also do excellent, reasonably priced pub  food.
