Places to visit
Bempton Cliffs
Home to half a million seabirds
You can expect to see gannets, razorbills, kittiwakes, guillimotts and if you are lucky, puffins. Also there are corn buntings, chiffchaff, willow warblers, skylarks and linnets as well as a resident barn owl. If you are lucky you may also spot a perigrine. Well worth a visit. It is easy to get good images of the gannets but a longer lens may be needed to capture some of the other birds on the cliffs.
Recommended kit - A long lens if you have them, binoculars, though they can be hired.
