Photo 13 Aug 90 notes feathersandbeaks: A pair of young gannets huddle with one appearing to wear a garland of wildflowers on the Bempton Cliffs near Bempton, east Yorkshire. In 1967 there were just 22 breeding pairs, but as many as 8,000 were recorded in 2009. The UK’s coastline is crucial for northern gannets, with roughly 60% of the world’s population nesting here.
