(Black-legged) Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla

The Black-legged Kittiwake, called just Kittiwake in Europe, is a gull with widespread distribution along coasts of much of the north Atlantic and north Pacific oceans.

Their call is said to sound like "Kittee-wayke". Their short legs are usually black but can be grey and even, rarely, pink. Kittiwakes nest on high cliffs inaccessible to most potential predators.
