Spent a fantastic day at Bempton Cliffs on Saturday,especially went for the gannets,I find them fascinating,must have took hundreds of flight shots,really wanted a head shot but they were keeping their distance on the cliffs.I shall certainly be going back again

Lovely image Karen, the pose of the birds and the surrounding habitat is most attractive.
