It's possibly the only Albatross anywhere in the northern hemisphere.
A rare Black-Browed Albatross has returned to Bempton Cliffs near Bridlington this week, to the delight of staff and visitors at the RSPB Nature Reserve.
The Albatross is believed to be the only one in the Northern Hemisphere and thought to have got lost a number of years ago but there have been sightings each year for the last few years at various places in Northern Europe, including Bempton Cliffs, where it appears to be quite happy.
Speaking to This Is The Coast in July last year, when the Albatross last visited Bempton Cliffs, Danielle Jackson from the RSPB explained how special it is to see the bird here:
Danielle also spoke about the various places it has been spotted in recent years:
Still a bit chilly here @Bempton_Cliffs, but at least someone is looking cosy at Staple!🌬️❄️
