- 12 chicks (A,B,C,D,E,F,I,M,N,Q,R,S) The older chicks are becoming more active. "Feldspar" stood close to the edge looking out to sea - but then returned to the warmth and safety underneath its parent's wing. "Struvite" continues to roam a short distance from its parents. Today, it was brooded under the right wing of the site R adult - while "Regolith" was under the left wing.
- 7 feeds (B,C,D,Ex2,I,M) As well as these 7 feeds, there was one feed before I started filming (N or E) and one after I stopped filming (site S, medium to large fish). The parents of "Basalt" and "Feldspar" both returned once without a fish.
- The damp weather meant that I spent most of the two hours under an umbrella, so there were no Puffin counts today, and I did not observe the Yellow-orange footed Razorbill.

"Neolithic" was left unattended for 4m34s until N1 returned. "Struvite" moved around its area of the ledge. The R2 stood on "Struvite" leading to a fight between R2 and S1
