Whalewatch Explorer - 23rd July 2013

A pod of 100 plus Commons Dolphins associating with us was the first highlight. As we made our way to the west we came across 1000 plus feeding Shearwater and a minke whale surfaced metres off the port side! Harbour Porpoise, Common and Grey Seals also viewed. Seabirds included Great Skua, Arctic Skua, Storm Petrels, Gannets, Shearwater, Fulmars and Auks. A dramatic thunder and lightning storm added to an amazing experience, you can't beat nature!
