Monday 19th June
It was a little quieter today though this morning we went a long way searching. The sea state was trickier with choppy south westerly waves. There were lots of seabirds out there including manx shearwaters, and some gannets doing a good impression of pelicans standing on an adrift wooden pallet. At the end of the…

It was cooler and greyer today with a bit more of a breeze, but thankfully we didn’t get any rain or thunder. This morning we went a long way south before we started picking up feeding seabirds and then Duncan spotted some far off splashing – common dolphins! Even when we got close to them…

We had a fabulous day on the water today with wildlife in great abundance. The morning was hot, calm and (mostly) sunny for our Discovery Voyage trip, and we found common dolphins in five places further offshore. They gave us wonderful views in the silky calm water. Coming inshore we saw loads of Manx shearwaters…

They were heading offshore at great speed so we sat and watched them go. We also had great views of grey seals, a couple…

We found good numbers of harbour porpoises near Land’s End, along with lots of seabirds – gannets, shearwaters and guillemots. At the…

There was such a lot of easterly wind this morning we had to cancel our two hour trip, which was a pity. It dropped for the afternoon a bit, though the four hour trip became a three hour. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon though wildlife sightings were probably the quietest we have had so…
