Visitors/Marine Traffic: One pleasure craft within the reserve yesterday

Ecological: 

• There are now 5 goslings between 2 nests
• There are 2 oyster catcher chicks (nest on E side of island). They are too elusive for our camera for now!
• The garbage brought to the island by seagulls is increasing now that they are nesting and laying eggs
• Yesterday we spotted a patch of broken seagull eggshells near the guest house. Our best guess: the gulls are already looting neighboring nests for food
