Abstract:
October and November were two enormously busy
months. The elephant seals’ breeding season came
to an abrupt end and immediately shifted to the
moulting season. Brown skua nests and small chicks
have started to appear widespread across the island.
Flowers are in full bloom from the coast to the
midlands; and the new Wandering Albatross
breeding pairs have suddenly made their
appearance on the Marion plains, while the past
year’s Wanderer-juveniles have almost all fledged by
now. The team is in high spirits as we approach the
festive season and we are enjoying sunnier days.
The wind speeds, however, have kept their ‘Roaring
Forties’ name, respectably high. Enjoy this edition of
The Wanderer!
