#FunFacts #kittiwakes use an unusual nesting material: mud! Instead of using twigs or leaves, they mix mud with grass and seaweed to construct their nest on the cliff ledge.

Whilst all the other kittiwakes were busy collecting grass to lone their nests, this one took a different approach and decided that a snail shell would make a nice addition to its nest #wildlifephotography #BBCWildlifePOTD #TwitterNatureCommunity

Kittiwakes nesting on the old bank building.

What a productive field season at Middleton Island! We deployed & retrieved 30 Star-Oddi heart loggers & Technosmart Europe gps-accs from black-legged kittiwakes! A special thanks to Shannon Whelan, Katelyn Depot, Scott & Martha Hatch & core crew for making this work possible!

Kittiwake counting in Lowestoft today. Handheld phone-scope pic showing 2 nests with 2 broods, a 3 (c25 days) & a 2 (c10 days). Colour ringed adult above AB3 (ringing info to follow) & a second calendar year bird top left. Kittiwakes rock. Totally underrated birds. Red listed 🔴

Been along the Tyne this afternoon. Kittiwakes making a terrific noise. Hope you have had a good day 🙋‍♀️🚲😎🍤🍟😋

A #Portland #LittleOwl had just coughed up a pellet & it made it boss-eyed! 🤣🤣 A few #Kittiwakes on west cliffs. The #OYC parents at #Ferrybridge were running themselves ragged, feeding the chicks. Loads of #MarbledWhites , #Gatekeepers & #MeadowBrowns . Portland Bird Observatory

Kittiwakes doing well RSPB Bempton Cliffs

This week's project: 1st summer, June, Kittiwakes. My only decent chance to photograph them on Portland in ten years. Currently there are well above average numbers for the species lingering locally, being mainly this age, with some adults, and 'one or two' 2nd summer birds.

Arrived in #Tromsø and immediately experienced the incredible fresh fjord air and midnight sun. Surreal and exhilarating. #norway #arcticcircle #kittiwakes

At Bempton: one of Europe’s largest seabird colonies - home to 400,000 guillemots, gannets, razorbills, puffins, kittiwakes, fulmars and son.
