Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire

Gannets
Guillemots
Razorbills
Puffins
Kittiwakes
Fulmars
Tree Sparrow 20
Corn Bunting 1 singing

Year 197 (Gannet, Razorbill, Puffin)


Gannets on the nest. Bempton Cliffs is the only English Gannet colony and the only UK mainland colony. When I first went over 30 years ago, there were about 400 pairs. There are clearly a lot more than that now, and according to a warden there are now 10,000 pairs, but there didn't seem that many to me.





Guillemots and a single bridled Guillemot.

Tree Sparrows were nesting in the roof of the RSPB visitor centre.
