The south tip of Walney Island off Barrow in Furness in Cumbria hosts a massive mixed colony of Herring and Lesser Black Backed Gulls. Research shows that like many bird species they are nesting earlier in response to climate change. They are also being negatively impacted by a change in food supply. As the surrounding seas warm plankton migrate further north leading to a reduction in sand eels and other fish species that many seabirds depend on to feed their chicks. This picture shows a Lesser black Backed Gull nest
