Wednesday 17th July

We had a really varied day today.This morning we had our annual visit from a freediving club who like to combine a bit of a sail and wildlife watch with some underwater exploration. While we were looking for wildlife before the dive we found lots of common dolphins with feeding seabirds, harbour porpoises and glimpsed a minke whale. They then went for their dive in the eelgrass. This afternoon we had a Bay Discovery and had much better views of the minke whale. They’re sometimes not the easiest of whale species to watch but even the very little kids got good views. We also had an encounter with a group of harbour porpoises, and saw a grey seal in the usual spot.
