Guys,

   If I may, where would be the best place to observe Guillemotes, Razorbills and Puffins around here ?
Marsden Rocks is maybe the only place I can think of.
I see many fleeting glances of these at sea, but would like to observe these "properly".

   Thanks in advance Eddie,

without a doubt the farne islands its a must your literally tripping over them just take a hat as the terns like to give you a bash on the head ! its great for taking photos too i managed to get some really good shots with a point and shoot camera on macro mode there that close.

Cheers Dean.

   I'd done the Farne Islands years ago. Just wondering about somewhere here, maybe an hours drive away.

      Thanks Eddie

Why not try Bempton Cliffs, Eddy, TheTSPB reserve is halfway between Filey and Bridlington and you get really close views of birds on the cliffs. This is the best place I know for photographing gannets. You could always call at Whykekam Forest view point to see Honey Buzzards on the way back!

   Myself and Wayne are off to Wykeham Forest on Friday VERY early doors. May just call at Bempton Cliffs.
My job gives me the best views of Gannets you'll ever need.    ;D

   Thanks for the idea though, will certainly give it consideration.

   There's space in the car for anyone for Friday, definately Wykeham Forest, maybe Bempton if interested. PM me or txt to 07502 433260
