First time visiting Bempton Cliffs | Nature Reserve |East Riding of Yorkshire |
Bempton Cliffs, on the spectacular Yorkshire coast, is home to one of the UK’s top wildlife spectacles. Around half a million seabirds gather here between March and August to raise a family on the towering chalk cliffs overlook the North Sea.
The huge white chalk cliffs at Bempton are impressive at any time of year. But visit between April and, July, and you will find them transformed into England’s largest seabird city. Here Puffins, Gannets, Kittiwakes and Guillemots live life on the edge. There are more Gannets acrobatically mainland England.
But it’s not all about the cliffs. In spring and summer Corn Buntings, Skylarks and Linnets breed in the grassland and scrub where land meets the sea, while Kestrel and barn Owls hunt under wide open skies, often joined in winter by Short-eared Owls.
