JAN. 24
walked the island in search of Sooty recoveries
and suitable places for firing the cannon net;
there were few of either; at 1245 there were
a few Sooties flying over the island, and the
multitudes could be seen coming in by 1700;
surveyed the causeway and found it riddled with
mouse holes - it looks like a good opportunity
for a home range study, having the directional
movements pretty well limited to two; checked the
Gray-backed Tern eggs: Islet total: 9 new: 2
Pier: total: 6 destroyed: 1
