Tour at 13:00

It had picked up some wind and more rain when we headed out for this tour. We headed out and first we headed towards the area where we had the Harbour Porpoises earlier this morning. We crossed the area without and spotted very briefly a pod of Harbour Porpoises but we didn't manage to stay with them for very long so we headed on. When we then got to the area where we had the Minke Whales earlier we spotted some feeding Gannets. Around them we spotted several different Minke Whales that we were able to stay with for a while. Some surfacing close to us and others were further away. Close by we also spotted a pod of White-beaked Dolphins. They came very close to us and swam under the boat and leaped out of the water.

 

Tour at 09:00

The weather was great when we headed out this morning, little bit rain during the tour but the sea was flat and barley any wind. We hit a very good area with many Minke Whales. They were surfacing all around us both close to us and further away. We then took a circle to see if we could find any other species and we managed to find a very nice pod of Harbour Porpoises.
