Northern Gannets of RSPB Bempton Cliffs | Morus bassanus

Getting close to Northern Gannets at RSPB Bempton Cliffs is an unforgettable experience.The Northern Gannets nesting colony at Bempton create a spectacular sight, sound and smell. Bempton Cliffs Gannets collect in huge numbers during the breeding season with over 13000 nesting pairs at England's only mainland Gannet nest colony. Northern Gannets are the largest seabird in northern Europe and eastern North America and getting close to them at this spectacular nesting colony is a memorable experience. In this video I take you to Bempton Cliffs in North East England to share with you the spectacular numbers of Gannets and talk about their lifestyle.

[@birdwatchinglife]

wow. great stuff Nick

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks, glad you appreciated it.

[@Happywife226]

They are so adorable and a lot in just one area. I wish to see them myself.

[@BirdingwithNick]

It is an incredible sight. If you are in UK between April-July get yourself to Bempton Cliffs in East Yorkshire. You will never forget it.

[@knutfugl]

Nice little movie, Nick. Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Well filmed. Wish you a good week. Best regards, Knut.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks for that. Have you visited the Gannet colonies in Norway or are they inaccessible?

[@knutfugl]

You're welcome. No, I have not tried. There is one available at Runde. It nests about five thousand there. Also some others, but only accessible by boat.

[@FollowThomas]

We get Northern Gannets here in Florida too but only in winter months. Beautiful birds and so cool to see how they dive in. 👍

[@BirdingwithNick]

Absolutely. Unfortunately boat trips were not running when I visited which meant I wasn't able to get footage of them plunge-diving which, as you mentioned, really amazing to see.

[@goldisgallery2912]

Wow great capture of nesting sight.. lovely to see the chicks. A beautiful documentry 👍🏻

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks, it is a great place for sure.

[@HelenaMikas]

They are amazing and somehow one gets the feeling many humans could learn a lot from birds .Thanks for another stunning video Nick 👍Have a great week .

[@BirdingwithNick]

Glad you enjoyed it. Being so close to these huge seabirds is a really special thing about visiting Bempton. At times you are only a metre or so away from them. A fantastic place.

[@Fortheloveofbirds2020]

Wow Nick, this is amazing, I can only imagine how exciting it must have been to actually see this 👍

[@BirdingwithNick]

It is an amazing place. I went to university close to Bempton Cliffs so I have visited many times. It is always special though.

[@peterviragphoto]

How beautiful are they! Lovely compilation of footage mate! I love bird photography too. You got a new subscriber!☺️

[@BirdingwithNick]

Cheers. Bempton is a truly amazing location. Being so close to these massive birds is very memorable.

[@peterviragphoto]

@@BirdingwithNick you’re welcome & yes I can imagine! Spectacular species!

[@Ramphastos333]

Wonderful, Nick! What a sight to see. Say, about 1:49 in, and also at 1:58 (same nest footage), what is the blacker bird to the lower right? A booby of some sort? Thanks again for your great videos!

[@BirdingwithNick]

Common Guillemot (Common Murre). There are many thousands of these nesting at Bempton too. Currently working on a video about all the nesting seabirds of Bempton Cliffs in which the Guillemots will feature along with Razorbill, Atlantic Puffin, Northern Fulmar and Black-legged Kittiwake.

[@raihanfarrelofficial]

In 2023 Gannets are getting popular as Scuttle from Little Mermaid Live Action movie

[@BirdingwithNick]

Haha, yes, I saw that movie and was surprised to see a Gannet was one of the stars.
