Kittiwakes are so cute 🤍 Unfortunately, they have it really tough these days. Overfishing, climate change and human activity threaten their food and habitat, and last year they had a disastrous bird flu outbreak. Additionally, in Norway the white-tailed eagle conservation has been so successful that the eagles are now so plentiful that the kittiwakes are being chased away from their cliffs, and into the coastal towns, like this one.
