Gannets with young (Guga's) on Bempton Cliffs
At this stage in the season most are getting ready to leave the nest, if you could call it that! A sign that this is about to happen is when the adult goes nearest the cliff, the Guga face the cliff until the time comes to leave, the one top left will leave shortly, it will then spend about 10 days floating on the sea, flexing its wing muscles constantly then it should fly and be able to fish for itself.
