Celtic Deep

Our third pelagic into the Celtic Deep was superb today.  Bird highlights included 2 Cory's Shearwaters, 12 Great Shearwaters, 2 Sooty Shearwaters, 1 Balearic Shearwaters, 2 Arctic Skuas and 2 Black Terns.  But the best was on the way home, when we happened upon a group of 5+ Fin Whales.  Stunning!
