Rare Albatross Returns To Bempton Cliffs

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.

Danielle also spoke about the various places it has been spotted in recent years:
