North Atlantic Right Whales



Hi Everyone
Well today whale watching we were in for a special treat. We sighted a Mother and Calf Right Whale not to far off Northern Light by the buoys. There are only 400 North Atlantic Right whales left in the world so it is especially great to see a mom with her calf. Today we had a bit of wind come up so we couldn't get to our usual places to look for humpbacks. We also sighted 14 Common Terns, Lots of Wilson Storm Petrels skimming the tips of the waves, Greater and Sooty ShearwatersNorthern Fulmars, and in the harbour some Black Guillemots. All in all a very good day indeed. Here is some pics from today enjoy!
