This is one of my favourite names although I have no idea
what it means or where its origins came from. I’m always reminded of the
Batman television series of the 1960’s when I see this name when Batman
(Pow!) and Robin (Kebbuck!) do battle with the Riddler (Crash!) or the
Joker (Thump!).
This used to be a popular nesting area for Kittiwakes
until they moved on to higher ground during the 1970’s and 1980’s. You
will still see a lot of seabirds in this area – usually Fulmars, Herring
Gulls and occasionally Shags/Cormorants near the waters edge.
