Thursday, 6 June 2024. Exciting news! Our first Tyne Kittiwake chick of the year has been seen. This afternoon it was so nicely popping out from behind a proud parent at its nest Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. So great to see this new little one! Showing success after bird flu in 2023.
Thur, 6 June 2024. This week we became aware of event (light show) to be held at N face of Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, 9:30–11 pm 8 June. Today we have discussed with local councils and event organisers GMC. N face today: 121 Apparently Occupied Nests of Kittiwakes and one early nestling.
Fri, 21 June 2024. I attended ‘An Evening with Hayden Thorpe and the Tyne Kittiwakes’ The Glasshouse International Centre for Music. It was great! We visited Hayden’s installation ‘The Hide’ and he performed 3 of his songs. Then we toured the Tyne Quayside to enjoy its nesting Kittiwakes with Wild Intrigue

Fieldwork variations: From birdcliff to urban environments: we continue our ringing and monitoring of urban Kittiwakes in Tromsø. Yesterday we ringed at Kittiwake hotels in a park and on a rooftop in Tromsø #urbankittiwake NINAnature #seabirds
Thurs, 1 Aug 2024. It is special to be so close to a kittiwake, but a shame when they fall from their nest and require our assistance. Collected two more (one in photo) today from the south side of Tyne Bridge (Gateshead Council ) and passed to Blyth Wildlife Rescue for care until release - Thank you!

We've been working on something new this week - an immersive audio wildlife safari for the National Parks UK conference!🎙 Delegates can't immerse themselves in our iconic #TyneKittiwake colony, so we're sharing it through storytelling inspired by our European travels... 🤍🎧
Mon, 2 Sept 2024. Toured Newcastle-Gateshead Quaysides: no live kittiwakes seen. All had departed for the sea. We wish them well with their winter journeying. (Photo: Tyne Bridge, today). 2024 River Tyne breeding productivity: healthy 1.02 chicks per AON (Dan Turner results).
