Yes, there is some encouragement here, but it needs to be remembered with 34
returning, that 70 left the breeding grounds to head for the mainland at the
end of last season (wild birds, released birds, and newly-fledged young).
Hence, the 34 returning to date represents less than 50% of the population at
the end of last season. A current population on the breeding grounds of 71
birds (returnees and released birds) is encouraging, but they are certainly not
out of the woods yet.
Here's hoping the efforts and support can be maintained, and this encouraging
trend can be continued.
Cheers,
