Street Lamps 

“A great opportunity to watch the Tyne Kittiwakes”

Close to the Guildhall on Newcastle Quayside, there are a series of street lamps that have helped light the way for a select group of Tyne Kittiwakes.  Over a handful of pairs have raised young chicks successfully from the tops of these lamps; whilst watching the traffic drive by.

This has proven to be a successful choice.  As visitors and residents walk past or drive past in their cars, they often find these Kittiwakes entertaining and of great interest.
