Good evening all, we had another 2 wonderful trips on the water today.
Our morning trip we spent time with 2 minke whales off the entrance to Head Harbour Passage and we also saw a fin whale, although he wasn’t overly cooperative we did manage to get a few good looks.

On our afternoon departure we did try and find the fin whale but we didn’t have any luck so we spent our time in the warmth of the Passage and saw 3 or 4 minke whales.

We saw lots of harbour and grey seals on both departures.

We also stopped with the nesting seabirds of Whitehorse Island on each departure as well.
|
the gull chicks are growing so much from day to day |
|
So are the kittiwake chicks |
|
These would be the feet of a murre as it dove. |
Thanks for checking in with us today,
Cheers,
