    Lovely Seabirds and in such abundance, certainly a Top spot by Wildlife Photographers and Vloggers! I miss seeing the seabirds, and Gannets are such beautiful birds. R😀

    Hi Richard, yes you can't beat a sea bird colony for the sheer number of birds. Gannets are one of my favourite seabirds that's for sure. Cheers for watching mate. All the best Steve.

    Hi Joe, I've stayed on Skomer and it's absolutely brilliant mate, although Bempton takes a bit of beating to be honest. Whichever location you choose I'm sure you'll have a great time. Keep well mate.

    Amazing photography Steve Hedges mate !!😲🙂👍. Lovely video, so wonderful to see many species of seabirds 😃. The Gannets are so beautiful. Mist must be such a challenging weather condition to photograph in😲.

    I visited Bempton cliffs for the first time a few weeks ago. I got sunburn, attacked by red ants when I accidently lay down on their nest trying to get a better angle, and I absolutely loved it. I'm already planning my next visit.

    Hi John, I wouldn't worry too much I've been going to Bempton Cliffs for about 15 years and most of the time it hasn't been too misty. If you do have a day with sea mist as I mentioned in the video it can be very atmospheric. Have a great time. All the best Steve.
