Bempton Cliffs Part 3, Razorbills and Guillemots...

Part 3, the Razorbills and Guillemots, two of the more wide spread and abundant sea birds but surprisingly hard to photography from the cliffs as the fly close to the
sea and usually stay lower down on the cliffs but I gave it a bit of time and I hope that you like the results;

I will start off with the Razorbills, these proved the hardest bird to photograph while I was away and I didn't quite get the shot that I wanted but this will just give me an incentive to return next year;












And now the Guillemots, a very photogenic bird but hard to get close to, with a but of patients I was treated to a few close fly by, I hope you like my pictures













Well thank you for stopping by, I hope that you liked my blog, please feel free to leave any comments,

Thanks always Lee Harrison.

Bempton Cliffs Part 2... Gannets...

Well here is part 2, the Gannets... These truly are one of my Favourites birds, so graceful and manoeuvrable for such large birds and there were so many of them I thought they would be easy to get photos of but because there were so many, you never new were to point your lens...

I started off around the Gannet colony with a few of the stationary birds;











After this I turned my attention to the many birds taking to the skies, this time of year there were a lot of juvenile birds around and when in flight you can really see the difference;




















I saw this bird flying up and down almost unhindered but I can't help but think this might be the end of it, when I first took this picture, I thought that it was carrying weed back to it's nest for nesting material but on a closer inspection I found that it was a fishing net wrapped around it's neck... Been a fisherman myself I find this a very upsetting image and one I wish that I didn't have the chance to take...

Bempton Cliffs Part 1 PUFFINS!!!

My Mum and Dad had a week away last week, they headed over to the east coast just up from Bridlington, so they could visit Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough head to see the Puffins and the sea bird colonies, whilst they were over they, they were kind enough to invite Charlotte and Me over for 3 days so I would have a chance for a spot of photography as it something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time but never had the chance to go across.

I decided to start with what most people would call the stars of the show, and the main reason that we went across but I love all the birds, it’s just an amazing place to be, all these pictures were taken at the Bempton Cliffs nature reserve, I hope that you like them











I left this picture in because it made me laugh, I though it looked like a sky diving Puffin, I hope you see it or maybe I'm just crazy,



Thanks for looking at my blog, I hope that you liked the pictures,

Thanks Lee Harrison.
