RSPB Bempton in East Yorkshire, which is home to England’s largest breeding colony of gannets, is looking for someone to spend a minimum of four months living among the seabirds.
Duties of the “residential volunteer” will include monitoring the birds and welcoming visitors.
Starting from March, the successful candidate will live in shared accommodation in the village of Bempton, about a mile (1.2km) from the reserve, with vistas out over the North Sea.
First they promise “live among birds”, but then they say it’s in a nearby village.
