Wildlife notes

There were periods when the island was quiet and appeared empty with the gulls out feeding. The chicks come out from their cover to feed and surprisingly stand fairly steady in the strong winds. I didn’t see the female elephant seal visit the Jetty today for her soak and there were few instances where all the gulls took to the air. A harbour seal visited the shore with her pup for a while in the morning, perhaps to nurse. I spent most of the day inside cleaning and watching the waves, glad to be on land and not in a small boat taking a beating.

The rocks clear of gulls in the morning.
