The colony of Kittiwakes nesting at Seaford abandoned their nests during the heat of the UK's record-breaking summer, with none of their young fledging this year.

This is sad news for the biggest colony on the south coast

One lucky birder spent a morning ringing birds with an experienced team after winning a silent auction at our 2026 Annual Conference.

The team caught and ringed 65 birds, including the star of the day – a beautiful juvenile male Redstart.
