The wind remained strong and fog blew through the island all day leaving some guests stranded fro another day, consequences of visiting a remote island.

Juvenile birds are now appearing in small numbers around the island, with around 70 pairs of Oystercatcher nesting there is now four juveniles seen scampering around with their parents. Also, Juvenile tail-less Meadow Pipits are popping up with their parents fiercely trying to defend them if you get too close and one juvenile Rock Pipit seen on the south end. four Ravens have been seen regularly on the mountain including two adults and the two fresh looking juveniles with them. In some sad news however the pair of Shelducks raising their ducklings in Solfach have had all their chick predated, the most recent three seem taken by a single Herring Gull frequenting the beach.
