Pelagic 22 August 2013

A joint trip with the Mid Pembs and Bird Group Sections of the wildlife Trust on Celtic wildcat from Neyland turned out to be an excellent day for those on board. Both the weather and wildlife were kind to us. Not far off shore we came across many pods of Common Dolphin (200+) lots of feeding groups of Manx Shearwaters, Auks, Fulmars. Storm petrel. Great Skua etc. A Risso’s Dolphin showed really well as did the gannets on Grassholm with chicks of all ages. Seals were numerous and we found a third cetacean in the form of a group of Porpoise. Thanks to skipper Nick, Robin, and to everyone who came on the trip
