Birds

• The early seagull chicks have grown a lot, and are currently 2/3 the size of the adults.
• Today was the first day the seagulls seemed to be (relatively) less aggressive – not sure if it was because of the strong wind or the fact that the chicks can now move themselves to safety.

Marine mammals

• The californian sea lion that was earlier seen near the guest house, has returned there.
• Saw a female elephant seal on the island after a while. That makes 3 males and 1 female on the island
• I think there are more than 2 harbour seal pups near the island, although I haven’t been able to confirm yet. Attached is a picture.
