Weather
- Visibility: 15 miles
- Wind: 20-25 knts W
- Sky: partly cloudy
- Water: Calm in the morning, small waves in the evening
Boats/Visitors/Sightings
- An average number of ecotour boats in the area
- A few fishing boats just outside Pedder Bay as well
Birds
- Just when I thought the Seagulls couldn’t get any more aggressive, they did just that. Noticed the first dead baby seagull, possibly due to a predator bird, and the adult seagulls around it were extremely violent.
Marine mammals
- 3 Elephant seals on the island today – all male.
Technical
- Placing the new batteries on the insulated rack and the technicians’ work on the grid has made an impact – over the last 48 hours the island has only consumed 3% of the battery charge. Will continue to monitor charge and voltage over the week to see the effect.
