Flamborough

On our annual Flamborough familiy holiday, I managed a short trip to Bempton for my annual seabird fix. 250,000-ish seabirds are still an impressive sight worth seeing each year. Just get there early before the crowds arrive and you've got it all to yourself.


best spot for close-up views of puffin and razorbill is north landing at low tide. Walk out into the bay on either side and they fly right past your head on the way to/from the cliffs. Nice cave too.

seabird city at Bempton - there's so much going on it's sometimes difficult to know where to look. For the second year running I spotted a gannet removing a guillimot egg from a nesting individual within range and threw it over the cliff. Probably a common occurance as their numbers expand further and take over more nesting ledges.
