Its been a hectic week guiding on our Yorkshire Coast Nature Seabirds & Whale trips and I thought we were doing really well for sightings then boom today it got even better when I found a Great Shearwater sitting on the sea by our boat. I had to tear everyone away from the 12 Minke Whales & 5 Sooty Shearwaters. It was very exciting moment.

This is now the third year in succession we have had a Great Shearwater from our boat trips. Great Shearwaters are scarce birds on the Yorkshire coast. Todays trip ended with 25 Bottlenose Dolphins. You could say it was a bit of a classic!

On the 31 August two days ago we photographed a Minke Whale with a very distinctive dorsal fin on our Yorkshire Coast Nature Seabird & Whale trip from Staithes. Further research in our Minke Whale fin catalogue has turned up a big hit!

Bitsa was last photographed (as far as we know) on 26 August 2013! Some fins are tricky to be sure but Bitsa is very distinctively shaped. Welcome back Bitsa!! Photo by Bethan Clyne 31/08/26 and Bitsa Dorsal by Robin Petch - 26/08/2013

On our way back to Staithes yesterday evening on our Yorkshire Coast Nature Seabird & Whale boat trip I found a group of Little Gulls and a juvenile Black Tern feeding with Common Terns and Kittiwakes on an area of spawning Herring. A beautiful sight as they all hovered over the water dropping in to pick up the tiny fish and eggs at the surface

A perfect day for Fulmar photography on our Yorkshire Coast Nature Seabird & Whale trip last Monday. Its beautiful to see the wing skimming the water leaving a fine line on the gentle waves. I love these birds!
