I walked about 1km of beach this morning just to
get a feel for the number of dead fulmars. I found
9 fulmars and a Western Grebe. 5 were fairly fresh
the others were pretty far gone.

For perspective, this is about half the number from
last year. I'd say closer to average. What's unusual
is the remarkable number of live fulmars near shore.

I also saw a flock of 40+ SNOW BUNTINGS.
