With clouds, you can do quite well, especially since the wind is almost always from the east. Once we got to the right of a spot where the gannets were landing, we had many excellent opportunities. BAA veterans Paul Reinstein (500 II) and George Golumbeski (600 II) had their long Canon glass with them and first-timer Bun Chan had his Nikon 600mm; they really cleaned up on courting, fighting, and copulating gannets on the top of the cliff. I will take my Nikon 600 along tomorrow morning. The forecast was for cloudy. Alas, Friday dawned bright and clear. Most of the group opted &#8212; against my advice &#8212; to head to the cliffs with Peter Kes, Amy, and Anita in the lead. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><center>ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/center><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>This image was created at Bempton Cliffs on the cloudy morning of Thursday, June 28, 2018 at Bempton Cliffs, UK.
