Bempton Cliffs, situated between Scarborough and Flamborough Head, features an extraordinary number of birds - more than 200,000 in fact! Alongside the abundance of seagulls it is possible to see gannets, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes, fulmars and puffins.
I went there during last week's stay in Scarborough. It was an extremely cold day but the cliffs were absolutely alive with birds.
Here's a few of the many photos I took.
Birds were crammed into virtually every nook and cranny along the cliffs. This and the next two photos show the same spot with different zooms.
They were able to land like a Harrier Jump jet.

Amazing photos!! I had no idea that was even there! I feel so sorry for that lone bird though...
Thank you - the new camera is doing a good job!
It was a very cold day though. One felt sorry for ALL the birds, clinging to the smallest of spaces on the precarious cliffs. Mind you, there was often plenty of room 'around the corner' - presumably only certain cliffs were suitable.
