Puffins and gannets, guillemots and kittiwakes flock to the cliffs of Flamborough Headland near Bridlington to nest.
We found a tiny peninsula with cliffs just high enough for a colony of kittiwakes.
The worst affected have been birds such as the terns and kittiwakes, which feed by catching small fish near the sea surface by shallow plunge-diving.
Farther down the coast we saw a huge kittiwake colony on an inland cliff.
On this day a large number (> 100) of black-legged kittiwakes were also observed.
In the case of kittiwakes, we can measure breeding success.
Iupiat cross from the mainland to gather eggs, primarily from kittiwakes and murres.
Wild goats, golden eagles, breeding fulmars, and kittiwakes frequent the area.
