So today we spotted our first four Guillemot chicks, along with our first Razorbill chick! These were spotted at Flamborough Head.
However this means we should be expecting little balls of fluff on the cliffs at Bempton very soon. So keep an eye out!
An iPhone was all we had handy. However here are some photos of one of the first Guillemot chicks spotted this Summer

In other chick news: The first Gannet chick (as many may already know) hatched at Staple viewpoint over 2 weeks ago now. And there have been a couple more spotted there since then.
However I have a Gannet plot to monitor at Jubilee viewpoint at Bempton Reserve and yesterday I found my first Gannet chick at this view point. So they are hatching along the lengths of the cliffs now.
