In 2014 we left Whitby Harbour very early and headed south with the

ambition to see the Bempton Cliffs bathed in morning sunlight.

The sun lit up the relentless industry and feeding frenzy of the gannet

colony which inhabits these North Sea cliffs.

The grotesque Crab Rock with its natural arch, white with guano and

nests, seems to be the epicentre of this colony. Many other species also

thrive on these cliffs, one of the most important seabird sanctuaries in

Europe.
