St Bees Head RSPB reserve, Nature reserve in Cumbria, England.
The reserve encompasses clifftop paths and three viewing stations that allow visitors to observe thousands of nesting seabirds along the coastal cliffs.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds established this conservation area to safeguard northwest England's only cliff-nesting seabird colony.
Local residents participate in numerous conservation initiatives throughout the year to protect and monitor the populations of guillemots, razorbills, and puffins.
The reserve maintains designated viewing points accessible via marked trails, with optimal bird watching opportunities occurring during spring and summer months.
Visitors can observe more than 5,000 pairs of guillemots nesting on narrow cliff ledges, while black guillemots frequent the waters of Fleswick Bay.
