Lovely sighting for this gorgeous sunny afternoon…they were spotted later in the morning and confused with Pilot Whales…easily done at a distance. Lovely Minke Whale sighting yesterday in perfect conditions.

It seems that the Killer Whales turned out to be Risso’s Dolphins. I’m kind of glad really. I see little enough as it is without the Killer Whales rolling up and scoffing what’s there. Besides, a pod of 8 Risso’s would be well worth the journey – especially if, like me, you’ve never even seen one.

The news of the the young Porpoises is nice to hear.
