We can do, but usually only a handful of brent. There is a roosting flock of up to 200 feral Greylags on the adjacent island, which might attract the odd other bird

There is still a decent population on the Copeland Islands @copelandbirdobs.bsky.social
They tend to nest in burrows, with the odd one in the Black Guillemot boxes
