Kittiwakes
stand and preen on the upper ledges at the RSPB Bempton
Cliffs Reserve. Since I first visited Bempton, in its pre-nature
reserve days, in the 1970s numbers of gannets have
increased from a few pairs to 3,000. Bempton remains our only mainland
gannetry.
Swallows' Nest
A
pair of swallows has nested in the porch at the
RSPB information centre at Bempton. An adult dashes in with food.
The young stand on the mud-cup nest to exercise their wings.
