I'm currently reading Philip Hoare's book "Leviathan, or The Whale", a book inspired by Moby Dick and the author's own experiences of encounters with whales.
It got me thinking about what marine mammals I've seen (all in the west coast of Scotland):
Harbour Porpoise
Common Seal
Atlantic Grey Seal
Minke Whale
Common Dolphin
I'm now quite keen to see other species - I know I could go up to the Moray Firth to see Bottlenose Dolphins, and occasionally other species of whales appear on the west coast. I would like to go to Iceland to try and see the Blue Whale, plus I think it would be amazing to see Beluga and Narwhals, but I don't know how likely that would ever be.
Is there anyone here who particularly likes seeing marine mammals - if so, what have you seen?
