    Report from Elding: Still a rough sea, but suddenly we saw a small group of white-beaked dolphins. It was actually only a short visit but still we could spot them quite well while they were at the surface. The waves were high so the dolphins were jumping a lot while they wer

    The sun came out but the wind picked up during lunchtime. Like in the morning we found a really nice group of the shy harbour porpoises. Especially in autumn and in spring time we spot them more often. Its seems that they stay around this time in big groups and are willing t

    It was raining and the visibility was not the best. All we could see was a group of White beaked dolphins. We were observing them for some time, they came close to our boat and we saw them also breaching. This was quite nice. We did not see any Minke whales.
