I don;t know about herring but around here they are pulling in huge amounts of Mackerel now for future lobster bait.

> In with about 1000 gulls at Waterside PP this morning was an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull. Gull ratio here was 570 Bonaparte's, 330 Herring, 46 Ring-billed, 45 Great Black-backed. A quick tally of about 200 Seals ( likely Grey) were just offshore.

Gulls counts loafing at this end of the island were 550 Herring, 490 Great Black-backed, 450 Bonaparte's, 10 Ring-billed. A few Common Terns were mixed in with the gulls. Seal head tally here was 250 again mostly grey seals although I thought I also noted a harbour seal.
