Kittiwakes back at the Saltmeadows tower this morning. Up to 37 birds with small parties flying up and downstream over a mill pond Tyne. Read 5 Darvics including an adult ringed in 2019. #Kittiwakes

Three nests with seabirds, likely kittiwakes, are perched on narrow rock ledges of a steep, mossy cliff. The birds tend to their young as white streaks from droppings stain the rock beneath each nest, creating vertical trails down the cliff face.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo.
Took a little time to find one, but here's one of nesting #Kittiwakes from the Farne islands last year.

#Qualitätsjournalismus. Im Text ist von "Western Gull" die Rede, deutsch #Westmöwe; das Foto zeigt #Dreizehenmöwen, englisch #Kittiwakes.
Die eigentliche Behauptung des Artikels stimmt natürlich.

Ribeiro et al. studied #MHC class II variation and infection by a sexually transmitted bacterium (C34) in black-legged #kittiwakes. They found sex-specific links between MHC supertypes, bacterial load and reproduction, suggesting STIs may influence immune gene evolution:

Last of the #kittiwakes hanging on at #DunbarHarbour before they head back to sea for a long winter. Possibly travelling as far (1700+ miles) to the waters around Greenland. Big migration for these dainty #gulls

Some of the 97 #Kittiwakes sat on just the W side of the Lead Stone/Flat Rock at Devon's #HopesNose early this morning. An unusual sight there. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds

Still pretty blustery out there tonight after #StormFloris - had a quick trot to #Dunbarharbour after today’s round of golf (more a battle in the wind than golf ⛳️) - the #kittiwake chicks are now juveniles but still demanding of their parents.

It’s the #kittiwakes @dunbarharbour for #SuperSeabirdSunday - lovely to see the young chicks developing (mainly 2 in nests) on the cliff ledges. Also a bird newly ringed by the ELC Rangers which helps track movement and survival

Four kittiwakes staggered up the rocks at Bempton Cliffs. They have bright yellow beaks with grey and white plumage and black tips to their tails. In the distance, blurred, there is another cliff with guillemots (or possibly razorbills). The North Sea can also be seen between this cavernous divide.
