Kittiwake juvenile
A rather dull, cloudy day with damp sea fret, but remaining very mild. Sadly, no news as yet of the presence of the Black Browed Albatross. Yet another clear out of Guillemots and Razorbills, with no chicks seen, most of the remaining birds are probably females, as the males accompany the chick on its seaward journey, or non-breeding birds. Gannet Gugas continue to develop, a few Kittiwake Tarrocks can be seen flying around (given the name Tarrocks, once they fledge the cliffs and during their first year) and Fulmar chicks can be seen. Puffins are still present and can be seen flying back to the cliffs with beaks full of Sand Eels. The Barn Owls continue day hunting with hungry mouths to feed.
