Looking off how the light house is coming back down the centre of the island, some of the birds are low: Gulls - 4 species Gannets - 10-15 Spy or Cormorant - 5 Stock Dove - 2 Starlings - hum.

Sept. 17 Today was the first day more like last Saturday. The wind blew from the South + SE most of day + it was just cloudy, esp.: 10 am. Picked off on line 30 knots on NW & W cliffs front, caught 16+ern. Then were lots more gannets or herring birds in evidence this morning compared to other. Next we pulled in our 23 tubs and Spy rocks. We had 8 additional nice bur (I had off 3 in my 13 tubs). This gave a total of 24 for day. Mike and I weighed the all before coming coffee break. Then Mike picked out 17 of the nice to add to the 8 he is bring back to London clinic. This left 7 nice which we processed in the usual way, 3 before lunch & 4 after. I devised a 5-point index for the abdominal fat state & recorded index values for each burrow on a data sheet. Around 15/15 started off on landing & photography with. Want and "The Nest" + getting at W side
