RSPB Bempton Cliffs has so many birds to offer, but being able to get up close and personal with these birds in their nesting habitat is one of the key attractions for me. With many ledges built out of the cliff you can see down on to the birds and get very close as they fly by at eye level.
These Guillemots were happy enough being closely packed in, but made a constant din of noise just to ward off their neighbours in case they got too close.
Below you can see a Bridled Guillemot with a white ring around its eye. It looks like it's wearing glasses.
The very good looking Kittiwake

Bridled Guillemot was a completely new term for me. I live and learn!
