Pelagic in search of cetaceans off Northumberland (1 Viewer)

[martin kitching]

Morning all

After the weather put paid to our groundbreaking 10hr pelagic to the Farne Deeps on August 12th we rescheduled for Friday September 3rd, and quickly sold all remaining places. Since then a couple of places have become available at a cost of £60/person. We will depart Royal Quays Marina at 08:00 on the SarahJFK.

The Farne Deeps is an area of deeper water off the Northumberland coast (which has, otherwise, a fairly uniform sea depth). Researchers who have visited the area in previous years have reported excellent numbers of cetaceans; mainly Minke Whales and White-beaked Dolphins but also sightings of Killer Whales. The Northeast Cetacean Project surveys earlier this year found Common Dolphins in the area.

If you are interested in taking either of the places that are still available then please PM me, or call O167O 827465 or e-mail martin(at)newtltd(dot)co(dot)uk

best wishes

Can't make it this year as we are already commited to West Wales including joining a cetacean pelagic over there but would be interested if you do this again in the future. Do you have a blog / dedicated website for Northumberland cetaceans (Other than the postings on this forum).

northeastcetaceans.blogspot.com is a reasonably comprehensive source of recent cetacean sightings and details of planned pelagics are posted on there (also on the Northern Experience website/blog). The Northeast Cetacean Project has a website as well www.northeastcetaceans.org.uk
