Another Dolphin sighting today. This time just to teh Mwnt side of Cardigan Island. It looked like a Mother and her Calf. Our Seal beach is very busy at the moment. I would estimate 150 seals were hauled up on teh beach today plus a good number in teh water checking our our boat.

We had our first sighting of the dolphins this season today. A very large pod of around 15 were fishing and playing in between Cardigan Island and Cemaes Head. Its always great to see them but what a show they put on today. I'll hopefully post some pictures soon.

Well we did our first trips of 2008 yesterday. It's great to get started again, Cardigan Island is teaming with birds at this time of year. The Razorbills and Guilimots are back and as cute as ever. Cardigan Island used to be home to Puffins, but they haven't been seen since the 1940s when rats drove them away. However, last year 3 Puffins were spotted on the Island, so we are keeping our eyes pealed for some more this year. We didn't spot the dolphins yesterday but the seals were on form and pleased to see us again. We look forward to seeing you in 2008.

Who would believe the weather for February! Sorry to all those who have rang asking if we are doing trips during February Half Term. Unfortunatley the boat is out of the water having some work done so we are out of action for a few weeks. Lets hope Easter is as nice as last year!

Well, after an extremely busy 2007 we are now looking forward to starting trips again on the 21st March 2008. Spring is a great time of the year and we are looking forward to the birds returning for their breeding seasons. 2007 was an excellent season for sightings of both the Bottlenose Dolphins and the Atlantic Grey Seals. The seals were extremely reliable. We saw them on 100% of our sailings. The Dolphins aren't quite so reliable and although we didn't them on every trip our guestimate is that we saw them on 90% of days. In 2008 we are planning to update the website with the latest sightings information on a more regular basis :-) Bye for now.
