BEMPTON CLIFFS

Just been sorting through my photos from Bempton – didn’t realise I’d taken so many – so thought I’d post a few here.

It really is an incredible place and is an awesome spectacle of nature at its best.  Wish I could duplicate the noise (and the perfect weather we had that day – haven’t seen much sun since then and it’s 5 weeks or so ago now!) – the whole experience is so incredible. 

It’s difficult to show you just how many birds there are and exactly how close together they are on the cliffs.  Here are a few photos to try to show you the proximity of the birds and the sheer numbers – and this was after some of them had left.  Must go earlier next year!

These were the birds I went to see, although a lot of them had already fledged and the numbers are down drastically from what they used to be.

Since then, I’ve been bird ringing, so have some great photos to share but this is enough for today…
