On August 10th, Pat and I walked out along the A16 southern levee from EEC.
We were repeatedly strafed by the two adult BLACK SKIMMERs; the youngster
was ahead of us on the levee, making feeble attempts at flight when a
bicycle went passed.  It really looked pitiful trying to get off the top of
the levee and down the bank to avoid the bike, but it had at least gotten
off the island.
