Good Evening
TEMPERATURE: Max. 13.0 C Min. 9.1 C Reset 11.7
THE DAY: Part Cloudy Vis 12 @ 6:30 15 Miles Wind West 15 Gust 21 Knots Sea 2 to 3 Foot Chop All Day
MARINE LIFE: One mature Bald Eagle spent most of the day on North Rocks and made two tries to hunt over Gr. Race but was driven off each time.The gulls and oyster catchers are on the alert at all times especially the past week or so.Most gulls have nests now and soon we should see eggs hatching from the early nesters. Don’t like to disturb them as they are so nervous from the eagles and in the wind the eggs can cool very quickly.There are still 4 Northern Sealions on the southeast rocks, one was swimming in the east bay area with about 30 harbour seals which had been hauled out on the rocks until the rising tide washed them off.
HUMAN INTERACTION: Chris and Ryan in with Second Nature – 5 trips with diesel fuel. 2 pleasure craft through the reserve.
