On 27th June 2022, I visited RSPB Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire …. see here.
The main reason for my visit was to see the Black-browed Albatross that was again being reported on almost daily basis since 30th March 2022 …. see here.
However, RSPB Bempton Cliffs is also home to an amazing seabird colony, not least large numbers of breeding Gannets.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs is the only mainland gannetry in the UK with all the other breeding colonies on offshore islands in west Wales and north and south east Scotland. It is therefore a remarkably accessible site to watch and photograph Gannets.
There are over 10,000 breeding pairs of Gannets at RSPB Bempton Cliffs and their numbers are expanding. These large seabirds provide spectacular views both on the cliffs and flying in the vicinity of their breeding colony.
Here are my photos of Gannets ….
