Max 156 Kittiwakes at Gateshead Saltmeadows tower today. Low tide, lots of birds bringing in mud and weed to build up nests. ACC ringed as adult in 2019 rearranging and patting down mud with feet before settling back down.

Maximum of 174 #Kittiwakes at Gateshead Saltmeadows tower and Kittiwakery today. 27 colour rings read, oldest returning bird was ringed at the tower as a chick in 2016. Love that sound!
