- Northern gannets dive at such phenomenal speeds it's only due to their unique biological make-up they don't break their necks. They do have occasional collisions with one another though!
See these amazing seabirds hunt, court, and bring up their fluffy-white chicks at the UKs largest mainland gannet colony.

ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Yorkshire sea birds
The Yorkshire coast is well known for its sea bird colonies. There are more than 200,000 breeding sea birds at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, with everything from Atlantic puffins, northern fulmars, razor bills, to guillemots. Find out more about here: www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-...
Yorkshire boat trip
I watched gannets hunting on a boat trip from Bridlington harbour run by Yorkshire Coast Nature. You can book similar trips here: www.yorkshirecoastnature.co.uk/
Northern gannets
Each year some 11,000 breeding pairs cling to narrow ledges on the sheer 400ft-high cliffs to build their nests.
Watching from sea
The perfect place to watch gannets as they hunt is at sea. Gannets have followed fishing vessels for centuries in the hope that they can feed from any unwanted fish so it's not unusual for them to follow boats, hoping we will throw something their way.
Gannet courtships
On the cliffs you can glimpse their beautiful courtship displays. Gannets are monogamous, breeding with the same partner every year, and in February they reinforce their bonds with stunning displays, rubbing beaks and pointing their long necks skywards. Competition for the best nest sites on this precipitous cliff face can be fierce and dramatic fights often break out.

This is incredible footage! You open up another world to us with every film; and, oh, the adventures that you share! 🥰🤗💯❤💫
Thanks so much there is so much more to come from my channel showing the natural world and how special it is 😁
@@RobertEFuller It will be an honor and joy to view and support.
Brilliant content.
I saw a few splashing and diving at the Moray bay, Scotland,a few days ago
I can think of very few things more elegant and mesmerizing than seeing these gannets plummeting to the water surface then folding their wings and slicing the into the water like the bolt from a bow. Amazing what several million years of evolution can produce.
They are stunning birds and yes seeing them dive into the sea is very special
Thank you Mr Fuller!
You are very welcome
I just love the puffins❣️
Me too ❤️💗💝👩❤️👩.
Your camera work is incredible! Thank you for this! xxoo

Thoroughly enjoyed. They're such elegant birds, and you captured that well.
Robert: this is incredible. They are so graceful. How long can they stay under water? Beautiful scenery. Thank you for taking us to their nesting area. They are so beautiful!!!!!!
A beautiful video! I always confuse gannets with genets and was amazed that these animals should dive. Sorry, English is not my first language.
Glad you enjoyed it Dagmar 😁
I’ve been here a few times but have always wondered what they look like diving into the sea!
Excellent footage. Thank you.
I'd like to give this video two thumbs up. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

Thanks a million for this fantastic video ! Very impressive, really enjoyed it as I do with all your videos and all you share! 🌟🥰👏
Thanks to you all for watching 😁 my channel
Stunning footage. You can really appreciate the beauty of these birds
Many thanks!
Fantastic to see this ! Amazing birds able to dive at such speed without being hurt, unbelievable, gee !💪. We discover marvels thanks to you 🤩🙏
Gannets are very special birds with a 6 Foot wing span
Fantastic as always..
Here in US I see many of those also.
But your videos make it so much better than I can see. Thank you
Thanks 😊
You capture the views Beautifully!
Thank you 😊
How do Gannets keep from running into each other when diving 😊😊😊😊😊😊😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing your videos.
Glad you like them!
Wow!!! What beautiful birds. What a fantastic film🏆
Thanks 😊
Wowww, amazing, beautyful
I live just round the headland in Scarborough, so it's always great to see Bempton Cliffs. :)
Did you catch a glimpse of Albert the Albatross this year? Sad as it is to know he's displaced, at least he has a routine and some company in the gannets.
Bottlenose dolphin are regular visitors to this part of the Yorkshire coast now too. Growing up, I never saw any at all; just Harbour porpoises. Something seems to have changed for the better with regard to the distribution of nutrients off of the coast and maybe how the coast is fished in general though. At peak season, you can see dolphins literally every day if you know where to look. It's fabulous. :D
Yes 🙌 I have seen Albert the Albatross several times and filmed him Amazing to see it but yes sad he is totally off course
I have been lucky enough to see them in the Falkland Islands and South Georgia amazing birds
pretty birds
Ah glad to see your mate and mine Steve Race
Yes 👍 Steve took me and my team out on a couple of occasions very special experience
Another great video, Robert. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Gorgeous birds. It was 😞 to see quite a few dead ones in June at the beach of the Sutherland village of Golspie. Also seen a few near where I live a couple of months ago at the North Ayrshire village of Seamill. A horrible thing avian flu
Yes very sad to see them affected by avian flu
This video is breathtaking, how did you get your videos so steady when the boat rocks up and down?
The sea 🌊 was quiet choppy
So Good stabilisation in the cameras and an editing process plus slow motion footage helps disguise the wobbling about 👍
Thank you so much, your amazing work has inspired me to create my own TH-cam channel and its handy to learn from professionals such as yourself how they produce such amazing footage.
Wow that was amazing to watch thanks Robert 💖
Thank you 😊 it’s my pleasure to share
Great footage ❤
Great video, doing the same sort of trip with Rachel Bigsby next week. Hoping to get some good shots.
AMAZING...THANK YOU!!
Einfach nur fantastisch !!!
Thanks
Incredible
Very Good
Thanks
Robert as a pro photographer i am in awe of your photographic and artistic skills. Bird photography is only a hobby for me here in Andalucia, as an ex yorky i can at least enjoy our 2.9m wing span Grifon Vultures that should be coming back in numbers soon although we have a permanent colony of about 200, and a few smaller eagles and hundreds of kestrels. Next time I'm back there i must visit your gallery..👍
Enjoy the Griffin vultures they are stunning birds Maybe see you in the Gallery one day 👍
Delicius footage
The worlds largest colony is on Bass Rock near Edinburgh
Yes I have been lucky enough to go to the bass rock 🪨 Bempton is on the main land which makes it unusual and accessible
peek a BOO! A comment for the algorithm. :-3
Gannet is Scuttle from Little Mermaid 2023
Puffin is Sven from Happy Feet 2
Terror from above.
❤
It must take precision coordination to lock onto a fish and time the dive so that it gets its wings tucked in out of the way (hopefully before a rogue wave catches them off-guard and alters their timed entry.)
👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣🤣
I may have got this wrong, but an old friend from Liverpool used to use a word that I think was derogatory, when referring to someone negatively. I seem to remember it sounding like
"gannet". Is this familiar to anyone? If so, why call someone that?
Did anyone tell you that there is an albatross that came there and is seen around the cliffs?
Yes I have filmed the albatross and seen it quite a few times amazing bird
@@RobertEFuller I’ve been before but I couldn’t see it :(((
@@MTonVR often a good time is just as it’s getting dark and it comes back to roost 😊
Check out my video on it
Thanks I’m actually going soon so I’ll try to see it
4 k videos when!
We film most of our footage 4k now
first coment gang
FANTASTIC!!!
❤❤❤
