==Distribution and habitat== Kittiwakes are coastal breeding birds ranging in the [[North Pacific]], [[North Atlantic]], and [[Arctic Ocean|Arctic]] oceans. They form large, dense, noisy [[seabird colony|colonies]] during the summer reproductive period, often sharing habitat with [[murres]]. They are the only gull species that are exclusively cliff-nesting. A colony of kittiwakes living in [[Newcastle upon Tyne]] and [[Gateshead]] in the north east of England has made homes on both the [[Tyne Bridge]] and [[Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-11-01 |title=Tyne Kittiwake Colonies |url=https://www.tynekittiwakes.org.uk/tyne-kittiwake-colonies/ |access-date=2023-03-16 |website=Kittiwakes upon the Tyne |language=en-GB}}</ref> This colony is notable because it is the furthest inland colony of kittiwakes in the world.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-11-09 |title=Tyne Kittiwakes |url=https://www.nhsn.org.uk/tyne-kittiwakes/ |access-date=2023-03-16 |website=Natural History Society of Northumbria |language=en-GB}}</ref>
