A group of members from the Mid Pembs and Bird Group section of the Wildlife trust went ‘Offshore’ on the Celtic Wildcat to watch sea birds and marine mammals.
Having passed Grassholm and seen the only gannet colony in Wales we went further out to sea, where there were lots of Auks, Shearwaters etc. Having laid a bait trail we were visited by Storm petrels and a Bonxie. Eventually we had approx 90 Fulmars swimming around the boat – mostly they has swum to us as they were in moult.
Also we saw a few porpoise, pods of common Dolphins and a final ‘treat’ were Fin Wales – see Wales in Wales blog site.
