Ecocruz 20th March 2013

Ecocruz 20th March 2013 - Another early season trip and another fantastic day of wildlife! We were just heading out of the harbour when a very sneaky porpoise popped up for a breath (always when I'm talking about razorbills!) but was gone as quickly as it came. A lone black guillemot and a great northern diver were next as we sailed past the salmon farm. Plankton sample at Ardmore was quite impres...sive (a sign of things to come?!) but no eagles on the nest ... Well that's because they were enjoying the sights of Tobermory today! A keen eyed passenger spotted not one but the pair of white tailed sea eagles being mobbed by some gulls! Swiftly followed by a passing peregrine and another sneaky porpy! Great views of a common seal at Calve island and we were back all smiling (and slightly shivering) ready for the next adventure!
What a day! Sharky :-D
