Kittiwakes upon the Tyne was set up back in 2018, following the events that year where over two dozen Kittiwakes became trapped or were injured as a result of anti-bird deterrents on Newcastle Quayside. We remain an Independent Voice and we continue to help raise awareness and support ongoing monitoring every year.
Below are some ways in which you can help support our efforts to help protect and look out for the colonies of Tyne Kittiwakes whilst they are with us during the spring and summer months. Please help if you can. ALL help is very much appreciated and valued.
