Gannets
Today on the cliffs could best be described as "Autumnal" with a cold, strong north westerly blow, frequent squally showers and some sunshine! The strength of the wind at times on the view points was not for the faint hearted! So what was about on such a day?
Todays Sightings
All of the breeding birds have now left the cliffs so attention extends to the grasslands, vegetation and birds in flight over the reserve and out at sea. The wildlife may come and go but the environment remains the same, with invigorating walks in atmospheric conditions at all times of the year! The cliff vistas certainly punch out the wow factor!

With all of the breeding birds gone, Staple Newk looks "naked" with the nests awaiting the birds return in 2018
A Great Black Backed Gull stands amongst the untidy Gannet nests on Staple Newk before flying off.
The Gannets have not gone completely, - some can still be seen in flight along the cliffs
