Seabirds nest on the rocks


On top of "The Chair", the north side of Kitridge bay. A sharp eye spotted this seabird's egg nestled in the rocks. We did not move it or touch it. We assumed it to be the egg of some species or other of plover. It is only just on 1.5cm long, and could easily be mistaken for a pebble. Certainly, the bird concerned had made no effort to camoflage its nest.
