Scarborough Kittiwakes

Last week, the production team visited the North Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough. The kittiwakes nesting on and around the Spa Bridge and Grand hotel were our main filming targets. We also ventured inland to the town centre and main shopping thoroughfare where kittiwakes nest on shop-front ledges.

Travelling light! It takes a lot of gear to be prepared for different situations!

We also interviewed Tim Burkinshaw, ecologist for Scarborough Borough Council. Tim spoke with us about the impact of kittiwake colonies near Scarborough, the mixed views of residents and business owners, and learning to live with seabirds.

We’re Filming in Scarborough!

From May 23rd, the Seabirds in the City team are heading to the North Yorkshire resort town of Scarborough. We’ll be filming the urban population of nesting kittiwakes and we’re also looking to conduct some interviews with people who feel strongly about the kittiwake colonies in Scarborough, whatever your views may be.

If you are business owner or resident and would like to express your opinions during a camera interview on either the 23rd, 24th or 25th May, please send us an email with your name, contact details and a brief overview of your feelings towards the presence of the kittiwake colonies:
