Still a windy and rainy day after a fairly intense storm blew through last night. I did my usual checks when the weather wasn’t so bad and everything seemed to be in fine condition. I enjoyed some storm watching, seeing some powerful waves crash over the rocks on the southern side of the island.

Pupdate: Both seals seemed to not mind the storm too much. I found Ms. B cuddling a rock in her usual spot, while the poor adult female started showing signs of being pecked at by the gulls. This is typical for seals who moult, but I can imagine her annoyance.
