Yesterday we went to the islands again and I am happy to say that there are already several little chicks born although most nests still only contain eggs. We were lucky enough to find three adults which we equipped with a metal ring and a colour ring. Hopefully they will be seen this winter! Unfortunately we found two dead black guillemots, both adults. One seemed to have been crushed by a falling rock, but we could not determine what happened with the other one. We also found two dead lesser black-backed gulls... is there enough food about?
We placed 15 camera traps on the islands so hopefully we get some nice material again this year!
