Bempton Cliffs is in East Yorkshire in the Northern east of England. This is one of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) reserves in the UK. In May, you can find hundreds of bird grouped around the large cliff. Within these birds there are Razorbills, Gannets and Puffins. This time I spent two hours with my camera and here I share with you these moments.
Northern Gannet
This is one of the birds that was most interesting for me. This bird is of the same family (Sulidae) as Blue-footed bobbies in the Galapagos Islands. Their appearance and flight make it easy to see that they are related without any knowledge of taxonomy.
Razorbill
This razorbill was doubting for long time whether to jump or not. If we were birds 40 cm long on a cliff over 100 meters high, surely we'd think about it very well before doing it. However...
... our little friend at last jumped to the air and I lost it within the huge background of the sea.
I have always admired photographs of birds flying. Maybe because I know how difficult is get a perfect shot even with expensive lenses or digiscoping. With my lens Sigma 70-300mm here is the best I could take after one hundred photos.
When we were leaving, we found this couple of gulls just resting on the top of a cliff. I interpret this as a signal of a perfect end of a long beautiful day.
