Kittiwake (it's a family affair) - looking back

Since my previous post I have been to Top Hill Low, locally including Wykeham Forest, Flamborough Head with one common denominator, no pictures. Ruffs & Curlew Sand at THL, no pictures, Peregrine at Flamborough but dark weather so only silhouettes.

So I have had to go back to mid June and the Scottish Borders, well Dunbar to be precise to pictures of the many Kittiwakes nesting on the harbour cliff face for this post. Not to get too close here or you would find out to your cost.

Again, not fully satisfied with the pictures as the light was not great. I think Kittiwakes are very pretty gulls but the scowls here do not do them justice, there's a lot of white on these birds.





I have concentrated on the care of the youngsters here.

Well they are lovely images Mike.
There certainly isn't much about anywhere at the moment.

I'm happy to see that yours got some chicks. Ours did not at all, and if they did they all died because of lack of food. A pretty bad year for them. I did not get any pictures of them, but yours are exquisite!
