Can you help us?
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. The story of the colonies of Kittiwakes along the Tyne continues to unfold.
