Seabirds in the City

Environment Themed

What’s it about?

An opportunity to hear about the making of the documentary film, Seabirds in the City. Starting with the story of the Tyne Kittiwakes, the film looks at the rise of urban kittiwake populations in Northern Europe, what they tell us about environmental change and how cities are learning to adapt to species on the move. The event will showcase the research behind the documentary, offer a chance to hear from the filmmakers and see the film trailer. It will appeal to anyone interested in urban wildlife, seabirds, and climate change.
