7 Fulmar nests were counted a couple of weeks ago, be even better still if there are more

Hi Dave - had a look in Glenthorne (from the sea) a couple of weeks ago, it’s good news, there are possibly up to 8 pairs of Fulmar resident although it’s tricky to decide which birds are on nests and which are just loafing. Having another sortie down that way on Friday and hope to be able to put a definitive number on confirmed nests.
