Thousands of birds head for cliffs
MORE than 200,000 birds are expected to be at Bempton Cliffs this June during the height of the breeding season.
And the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, which looks after the reserve there, has confirmed that the first of this season’s puffins have been spotted at what is known as Seabird City near Bridlington.
Already, several thousand gannets have arrived back at the clifftop and have been joined by guillemots, kittiwakes, razorbills and herring gulls.
Ian Kendall, site manager, said: “Now the puffins have started to arrive back, we know that the breeding season has well and truly begun. We have five special clifftop viewpoints with staff and volunteers on hand to help people enjoy watching as one of nature’s wonders unfolds.”
