Glorious Gannets, Bempton Cliffs - 21st August 2024

 


Gannets are certainly the dominant birds on Bempton Cliffs at the moment. All of the Auks (Puffins, Guillemots & Razorbills) have long departed, most of the Kittiwakes have also departed and only a few Fulmars remain. 

Some of the Gugas are almost ready to fledge
