95 Chicks and Counting

As of yesterday evening there are 120 adults, at least 95 chicks, many very mobile, and at least 28 further eggs to hatch per Franck LeMoenner, our site ecologist this year. To date only one nest has ben abandoned, while only three were lost to the spring tide backed by wind mid-last month. If all goes well this will be comparable to our most successful years.

Today we have recorded a total of 43 chicks with a further 60 or so eggs to hatch. So far we have had only one bad weather day last week, when the outer seaward fence had to be repaired. Thanks again to all the volunteers for their help and support. Breffni
