Good Evening
TEMPERATURE: Max. 7.7C Min. 3.9C Reset 5.7C Rain 0.6 mm
MARINE LIFE: With calm seas the tidelines were very active with feeding birds.We saw a lot of fish taken by the 11( 5 mature ) Bald Eagles.Most of them chose to eat their catch sitting on the ridge of the Southeast Rocks. There was one eagle -immature- with very pale, buff mottled colouring all over except for dark brown tail and head.This colouring is probably not that rare,we have just never seen it before and it stood out so much amongst the rest of the immatures.The Harbour seals seem to favour the southeast rocks for haul out the past few days, counted 167 just before dark.
HUMAN INTERACTION: 3 Pleasure craft through the M.P.A. today.
