Hello
Over the past week or so the kittiwakes have been busy nest building. It's an absolutely amazing sight with thousands of birds flying all around your head collecting mud and grass from the cliff tops and ponds on the headland. The noise is phenomenal! Spotted quite a few eggs this week, and so hope to get the monitoring started next week.
The guillemot and razorbill monitoring is in full swing. I have been out watching the birds looking for eggs whilst battling the wind and on Friday I saw my first razorbill chick! It's a really fantastic feeling seeing the first chick, they are so tiny and vunerable, from then on I have seen more razorbill chicks my first guillemot chicks, it really lifts your spirits and momentarily you forget about the wind and the cold!
The next few weeks are busy with everything happening at once. Hope to update you again soon.
