Bempton Cliffs RSPB
Suitable for children and family viewing Bempton Cliffs RSPB is a wonderful place on the North East coast of Yorkshire if you want to see a large collection of sea birds.
It is quite a few years since I last went to the visitor centre there where they have a small cafe offering hot and cold drinks and a good selection of snacks. I have named some of the birds but as the cliffs are very high any bird on the water look like little specks but I think they were Kittiwakes. Puffins come here every year in March/April and leave around August but last time we were here they were out at sea fishing and I think it was the same this year. Just before leaving a visitor told us where he had seen a Puffin that day so I took a few clips from that spot before we made our way back to the RSPB Visitor Centre. Back home I looked at the clips and thought I saw one fly in so I took screen shots and slowed the clip down but I can’t say for certain it was a Puffin so, see for yourself but I think I was out of luck this visit. Sorry that some shots are not that clear but I did not take a tri-pod as there was quite a few photographers with their tri-pods set up in the main view points and I wanted to keep moving on to other viewing area along the cliff top. Hope you enjoy seeing the numerous birds at Bempton Cliffs as much as I did, especially the Gannets and thank you for viewing.
