Gull egg laying has begun

Wildlife notes

The first gull eggs are being laid. Most gulls are not at this stage – some are still just building nests, mating and fighting over territory – I suppose the fighting never really stops.

The wind picked up in a hurry today. In the span of two hours, winds went from SSE 4 to WNW 35.  The house is moaning and quacking. I have a fire going, wearing long underwear and a down sweater. An incredible evening to be looking out the window watching the waves build as the high winds continue and the tide switches to an ebb (e.g. the tide opposing the wind). I am glad I took the sea water measurements before the waves were washing over the Jetty.

Facility work

  • cleaned solar panels
  • cleared south electric fence of vegetation
  • topped up battery fluid levels
  • measured specific gravity of the battery fluids. The values were not optimal, so I will run an equalization charge tomorrow.

DND

Several blasts were heard today. Wildlife appeared undisturbed.
