Gannets and Guillemots at Bempton
Taken at RSPB Bempton, near Flamborough Head in East Yorkshire. This is a wonderful reserve, with viewing platforms built right at the cliff edge, hundreds of feet above the water below. As a result, you see birds head-on — or even from above, which is rare for bird photographers who do not own a plane.
Photographs in this album include: Gannet returning from B&Q, Gannets in flight, Puffin setting off, Guillemot arriving, Gannets nicely snuggled, Young Gannet about to land, and more.
