Anyone know where you can book trips? Also, any chance of Storm Petrel from these?
They are a deep water species so don't feed very close to shore

Definitely not a deep water species. They're most frequently found in water of 50-100m deep, and may well struggle to be able to feed effectively at greater depths. Studies in Iceland showed WBD staying within the 200m contour at all times, and diving in water up to 45m.

Winds of 9-10mph+ make the sea too lumpy for a comfortable wildlife cruise and makes finding cetaceans very difficult.
I don't know about the current situation but they were a fairly regular feature of summer seawatching off Aberdeen when I used to live there.
