Celtic Deep Pelagic

Nothing unexpected on the avian front in the Celtic Deep today on board Dale Sailing's Helen Clare, skippered by Will.  Plenty of Guillemots, Razorbills, Kittiwakes and Gannets, with a couple of Fulmars and a handful of Manx Shearwaters.  Several sightings of Common Dolphin, more so out in the deep than on the way there and back.  Best of all was a brief sighting of a Fin Whale: 3 blows and a view of the back and dorsal fin and it was gone, never to be seen again.  Jaw dropping animal!
