  • Bempton Cliffs
    Welton NEWS June 2021, Issue 265 BEMPTON CLIFFS Now that we can get out and about more there are lots of interesting places nearby to visit. A couple of hours drive away is Bempton Cliffs, situated just north of Bridlington. If you like nature and walking it makes for an interesting day out. It is run by the RSPB, which has a centre there. Entrance is free for RSPB members, otherwise there is a charge. The cliffs are some of the highest chalk cliffs in England at around 300 feet. They are hard chalk which gives some resistance to erosion and the crevices are ideal for nesting birds. The area is known for its breeding seabirds, including the northern gannet, the Atlantic puffin, the razorbill, the common guillemot, the black legged kittiwake and the fulmar. The very knowledgeable RSPB volunteers will help you identify the various species and point them out to you. There are a series of lookout points spread over about 1¼ miles and normally at this time of year there is a volunteer at each station. The cliffs are home to the only breeding colony of gannets in England and at this time of year they are building nests ready to breed. The couples guard their nests fiercely. The young grow so large that when they first leave the nest they cannot fly. They jump down from the nest into the sea and float around for about 10 days before they can fly off. Four year old gannets come back to Bempton and fly along the cliffs; then return the following year to breed.

This was done to establish whether there is overlap with potential development zones for offshore wind energy generation in the North Sea. The three seasons of study, in 2010 (n=14 birds), 2011 (n=13) and 2012 (n=15), have identified the previously unknown sea areas used by adult gannets from Bempton Cliffs.
