Two views of Staple Newk at Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire. Already lots of seabirds have returned to Bempton for the breeding season this year with more to still to come

I always love my visits to Bempton Cliffs at Flamborough - enjoying the sea air, watching and photographing the wildlife. Here's a selection of photographs taken during day visits in April and August 2023. Sadly on both occasions the Puffins had either not arrived back at Bempton or had already left the cliffs for the open sea, hoping to see some when I visit soon in 2024
