As far as i could see these 2 crevices were interlinked on the cliff face. There seemed to be 2 puffins going in and out of here. The Bempton cliffs are steep and there was plenty of puffin activity at sea level according to a guy with an adjusted telescope. He let me have a look and sure enough the little birds were quite plentiful there, but I couldn't recoginise them without the telescope. These puffin 'burrows' were about a third of the way down the cliffs, and just withing the zoom distance of my lens. The cliffs are chalky and seem to be held together by guano.

Gannets seemed to be the most abundant species on the cliffs, but they are comparatively large and easy to see. other species included razor bills, kiitiwakes, guillemots and fulmars + rock doves etc. I didn't spot and choughs.

Having reached the age of 77 and never having seen a puffin, I was delighted to see these nesting in crevices on the cliffs at Bempton.

This memorial was commissioned in 2005 by Whitby Civic Society who wanted a memorial to seamen which would be both practical and decorative. It takes the form of galvanised steel gates which incorporate a design of a modern trawler alongside a ship from Capatain Cook's era. In the centre there is a motif of a landed catch. This replaced the original storm gates which close off the West Pier during stormy weather.

The Sunday Challenge for 21st July: TWO OF SOMETHING EITHER TOGETHER OR APART The PiP shows an adult gannet with a chick, but the photo is a tad blurred because I was at the limit of the zoom on the lens and the camera was hand held.
