Paul
It appears to be password protected. How can I access it? I am coming down to Cornwall to do some watching in the middle of August and would really appreciate being able to see what's being seen - if that makes sense!
Thanks.

This week in our waters there has been Cory's, Sooty and Balearic Shearwaters as well as Sunfish, Common, Risso's and Bottlenose Dolphins, Harbour Porpoise and Minke Whale! The pelagic season is about to begin and sea is 21' C, warmer than normal for this time of year.

Last Monday I saw 5 Cory's Shearwaters from the Scillonian just after passing the Wolf Rock lighthouse on the way into Penzance - so about 6p.m - beautiful crossing many groups of Manx sitting in the sea as we approached.

Hi Jon

Seems a lot of bait fish in that area at the moment. Literally thousands of Manx there from the Scilloniian on Wednesday with a Sooty and a brief view of a Minke Whale. Balearics there today. Out there again tomorrow so fingers crossed for a Cory's or two.

cheers
Paul
