Seabird breeding season is at a peak now with young shags just fledging and gull chicks changing from attractive balls of fluff into squawking menaces. Guillemots and razorbills are nearing the time when their half grown chicks will jump off the ledges and swim away. Up to 3 puffins have been seen around Bawden Rocks and many Manx shearwaters can be seen flying past each day, especially when the wind is in the west or north-west.
The first ocean sunfish of the year are around and can sometimes be seen being of parasites by gulls whilst lying on their sides at the surface.
