Whale Watch Results
Well, several club members were treated to one of the BEST Whale and Seabird trips I have been on!!! There were 15-20 Humpbacks feeding very close to the boat along with Several Minke and Finback Whales. The Bird display was equally as terrific and we got great looks at Greater Shearwater, Sooty Shearwater, An outstanding sighting(yours truly) of a Manx Shearwater, Wilson Storm Petrels, Northern Gannets, Laughing Gulls and a large number of Terns, Mostly Adult and Juvenile Common. The Number of Birds was also incredible as with so many Whales Feeding the birds were having a feast on the fish and food they were forcing to the surface. One of the best and Thank-you to those who attended, I know they were as I was , impressed! Please look for another Whale Watch date in late September/October, Your Pres.
