Kittiwakes Doing Well




Thursday and an early morning walk across the Tyne Bridge to see how the Kittiwakes are getting on.  There are quite a few chicks around although there is quite a few Kittiwakes still sitting on eggs.   As you walk across the bridge some of them are sticking their heads out between the balustrades offering one some wonderful views.

The chicks just look absolutely stunning.

The eyes on the adult are just awesome.

Standing on the Bridge also enables you to see some great flight action

Also a few iconic shots of Newcastle which I never tire of seeing, first the Millenium Bridge,
then the Sage
and finally St Nicholas Cathedral

Great pics of the kittiwakes - did you take them yourself?
Ive gotta feeling theres going to be a drive to get rid of them this year = personally I love them, and its great to hear their calls when youre walking around the Quaysde.
Long may they live there.
Cheers,
Mark
