We have had another wonderful season spotting wildlife from our cruises and onshore. There is no doubt having a dedicated Wildlife Guide helps idenitify habitat and find species and you never know what you are going to see! Amazing one-off sightings in 2019 include a unique appearance of an adult minke whale with calf; a very rare sighting of a fin whale and several sightings of the snowy owl on St Kilda. Here are some photos sent in by crew and guests - as always, puffins feature greatly and we have seen dolphins and white-tailed eagles on most cruises, often multiple times. Many other sea birds are well represented as well as seals, otters, red deer and cetaceans.
Dear Emma - Val and I have just returned from a week on Mull following our fantastic cruise on Elizabeth G. We would like to thank our skipper Chris and his crew of Amy ,Morag and Sam for their friendly, attentive yet professional care .Nothing was too much trouble and we were really well looked after. We were privileged to see some fantastic wildlife including a pod of 50 dolphin and a Minke whale with calf along with many species of seabirds .The scenery from both Elizabeth G and ashore was spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed our Hebridean Adventure. Kind regards, Kevin and Val Ibson
