No Wilson's but around 8 Stormies on a Sea Trust pelagic out to the Celtic Deep yesterday. An Arctic Skua not far out of Milford Haven sped past all too briefly and 6 Ringed Plover were seen a few miles out. At Grassholm the Gannets were still putting on their magnificent spectacle with a few Kittiwakes in attendance. Manx Shearwaters were also seen in large numbers throughout the trip but just a few auks, including several young Puffins, were seen. A Common Tern passed as we headed back into the Haven late afternoon.
Cetacean sightings were good with a total of approaching 150 Common Dolphins in all and the highlight, 3 Fin Whales some 23 miles off St Anne's Head put in a brief but exciting appearance. See also the Whales in Wales Blog.
