Wednesday 18th June
It was such a beautiful day today after a dull start. This morning we had a four hour Discovery Voyage and we saw some excellent seabird action, including a sooty shearwater which sat on the water right next to the boat, looking back at us! We also saw some grey seals, two ocean sunfish, and…

A long day today with a Discovery Voyage (4 hour) followed by an Ocean Discovery (3 hour) trip. This morning we had lovely clear views of a harbour porpoise in the early morning calm. It circled repeatedly round the boat, just carrying on with what it was doing. Further offshore all was quiet apart from…

We also had lovely views of a load of other seabirds including Manx shearwaters, guillemots, razorbills, and kittiwakes, and the seals were very curious today. A small pod of harbour porpoises in the late afternoon light were a lovely end…

We started the day with a four hour trip and headed along the coast first to have a look at the sights before heading offshore. With the dolphins we found all the shearwaters we see apart from Balearics –…

We had a couple of days off this weekend but we were back out on the water today, and we had a very biodiverse day. On this morning’s four hour trip cetaceans included lots of common dolphins, two harbour porpoises, and we had a brief view of a lunge feeding minke whale. There were also…
