Descrizione
The Hunstaton Cliffs are located on the northern side of Hunstanton and face the Wash bay area. The cliffs are coloured white and red and are famous for their fossils and, of course, the breeding colony of Fulmaro. The number of breeding pairs peaked in 1995 with about 200 pairs, but nowadays, the number is averaged around 100 pairs. They can be seen from the beach, sitting on their ledges or from the top where you can see them flying away and coming in from the sea.
The beach, especially during low tide, is a great place for many shorebird species, like gulls and waders. Large flocks tend to stay and forage for prey on the tidal mudflats. Common species are Beccaccia di mare, Piovanello maggiore, Pittima minore and Pettegola. The scattered rocks are a great place for Piovanello violetto.
From the clifss, you'll have a perfect view over the bay. You can find species like Gabbiano tridattilo, Sula, Marangone dal ciuffo and even skuas and shearwaters, with a bit of luck. Flocks of scoter, both Orchetto marino and Orco marino, can be found and small numbers of Strolaga minore are present.

Accesso
The area is easy accessable due to the parking lot on top of the cliffs and the pathway down to the beach. You can walk over the beach towards the cliffs and find the Fulmaro there, mostly by sound.
