More from the Celtic Deep


Following on from the Bird Broup/Mid Pembs pelagic on Wednesday Sea Trust was out on a cetacean survey yesterday and despite pretty rough conditions got out to the Celtic Deep and had great views of Fin Whales. See the Whales in Wales blog for more details.
Manx Shearwaters were everywhere in what must have been tens of thousands. Few Gannets out there though Grassholm was spectacular as ever and many of the young were getting ready to fledge with must wing exercising going on. 3 Storm Petrels were seen and a lone Bonxie flew past.
