Wildlife Adventures - 16th August 2013

Great sightings on this morning's trip with 2 sea eagles, grey seals, several porpoise sightings, 3 storm petrels close to the boat, diving gannets AND around 20 basking sharks!!! We stopped amongst a group of about 8 and had an incredible encounter with them feeding just metres from us - wow!


More fantastic Basking Shark encounters in the afternoon trip with over 20 animals counted including a spectacular breach clean out of the water with a lucky few on board looking in the right place at the right time! Harbour porpoise and Common Seals also viewed. Gannets, Shearwaters, Auks, Kittiwakes and Great Skuas were the main bird sightings.
