Bertha and 4252 have not been seen on Great Race for a few days. The seagulls are hatching! Pam B. reports a chick up near the helicopter pad, and a nest beside the winch pad hatched yesterday with two healthy chicks. Pam thinks that the chick near the helicopter pad is several days old. The three black oystercatcher chicks are still being fed down on the rocks beside the jetty. They ”ve grown considerably in the last number of days. There are at least two other families on the NE corner of Great Race, as I ”ve seen at least two pairs of parents who act quite distressed when I get near. ‘, ‘adam’, ’08:34:08
