LIDICKER 1972 April 27 cont. Decided to photograph puffins. Without much effort I managed to get within 2 m. of a small group sitting on the edge of the rear cliffs. Weather: alternating sunny & overcast, with frequent cold windy periods. The fifth was too rough for Jimmy Swi. H. to come out even though Sam Berry was due to come out for the day. He sent a message to the lighthouse that he would come tomorrow instead. Both Harris + LBB gulls seemed noticeably more attentive today - wheeling & screaming overhead & dropping back into position more quickly. We found no more nests with eggs, but George did find a few. We found 1 H.G. which had been narcotized by the Nature Conservancy group in a trial of the poison. It was staggering, weaving back & forth with its eyes closed. It did not respond until poked & then flapped & tumbled weakly, soon settling down again. We also found a Kittiwake killed in the mud of a small freshwater pond on the top of the island. One wing looked as though it was supposed to be broken. We figured it was knocked down by an aerial collision. We released into the landing area on the E. side. It soon off flopping its one good wing. Before lunch we completed work of the gullkin on the S side. Afterward we completed the 22 remaining tasks & then walked around cliff of the main gullkin, bleeding & spraying some since system had left in the task for
