Bempton is the only UK mainland breeding colony of gannets and you don't see them in anything like the same numbers in the rest of the country. <br />(We used to see them just a little further North in Scarborough too, of course) <br />It's wonderful to watch (and hear)them thumping into the water at such high speed.

I do like the pale orange on the back of their head. Gives them a dash of such elegance.
