Kittiwakes On Visit To The North East Coast Of The Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K wildlife camera nature travel video clip of Kittiwakes on visit and trip the North East Coast of the Scottish Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Kittiwakes are gentle looking, medium sized gulls with a small yellow bill and a dark eye. They have a grey back with white underneath. Their legs are short and black. In flight the black wing-tips show no white, unlike other gulls, and look as if they have been 'dipped in ink'. The population is declining in some areas, perhaps due to a shortage of sandeels. After breeding birds move out into the Atlantic where they spend the winter. Kittiwakes are strictly coastal gulls. In the breeding season, look for them at seabird colonies around the United Kingdom. In late summer and autumn they can be seen flying past offshore, or gathering at roosts. They spend the winter months out at sea. The clamour of this delicate gull, so characteristic of many of Scotland’s seabird cliffs, gave the kittiwake its onomatopoeic name. Its nests, built of seaweed, mud and guano cling to impossibly small ledges on some of the steepest sections of the cliff face. The largest colonies are on the east coast and the Orkney Islands. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing.
