English term or phrase: cliff clingers
Si parla dei "puffin", i pulcinella di mare che "scendono in picchiata e planano ad altezze vertiginose", forse "cavalieri della scogliera"... grazie!

Asker: grazie, sì pensavo a "cling" nel senso di "afferrare", "stare attaccato", meglio scalatori, grazie mille!

abitanti / amanti delle alte scogliere


Explanation:
Io metterei "alte" perchè le scogliere in italiano non lo sono ncessariamente mentre "cliffs", sì.
