Rachel Riddell ( Rachel.Riddell@eastriding.gov.uk ) the Project Officer for the Flamborough Head European Marine Site, gave the following advice,
Please see the following points for things to consider:
- Whilst the seabird breeding season is March to the end of August, it is worth noting that there are some resident birds that remain at Flamborough throughout the winter months, many species of seabird are sensitive to disturbance so we would advise avoiding routes where there are seabirds nesting nearby.
- I would strongly advise avoiding the area altogether during the breeding season, as this is when seabirds are especially sensitive to disturbance. Birds who are disturbed will often leave their nest, leaving chicks and eggs vulnerable.
- The vegetated sea cliffs are protected under the SSSI and the SAC, with activities that risk trampling this vegetation, we would advise that routes are carefully considered to avoid any damage to this feature.
- We would also discourage the placing of fixed protection into the cliff face, for example expansion/resin bolts, pegs or belay stakes.
