We’re looking for active and independent volunteers who can spend one day per week recording recreational activities amongst the UK’s largest mainland breeding seabird colony, throughout the summer months.

You will visit various locations across Flamborough and Filey cliffs, recording recreational activities and observing the response of seabirds.  The data you collect will help us to understand more about our unique seabird colony and how we can better protect it.

Full training will be given, however access to your own vehicle is required due to the rural nature of the monitoring locations.
