I love a good ferry journey across the Minch or in today's case the Sea of the
Hebrides. Today we saw about 30 common dolphins in three groups and I also had
brief views of a couple of minke whales. It was very quiet for birds, but I
did manage two species of skua, great and a distant pale phase bird that was
almost certainly pomarine. Other than that it was mainly just gannets and a
few kittiwakes, plus a handful of fulmars and auks.
