Over the past few months we have had trigger cameras on the main island at Hodbarrow. These little boxes are left over a period of time and snap a pic when ever there is movement infront of the sensor. I'm sure many of you have used or seen these cameras before - they are a great tool. We have been using them to determine if and what sorts of predators have been on the island. Thankfully we didn't seem to pick up any land land based predators on any of 1200+  pictures taken. There were alot of geese, gulls and lapwing. I've picked out a few of the best and interesting ones below.

Juvenile gulls making use of the island - wonder what spooked them.
