Hump back whale

Yup- we have these here too. The occasional visitor. And no I haven't seen one. But I have seen dolphins and a porpoise and loads of seals. There is not a day goes by without a sighting of one or more cetaceans off our coast.
One of the organisations Mike and I are involved in is the East Grampian Coastal Partnership. (E.G.C.P.) The latest task of this is to identify what we have in our seas, or that lives nearby, and relies on for its survival, what is at risk, how to protect it and so on. A mammoth task. We have had an enjoyable though exhausting day out today doing just that. We had presentations on the fantastic, colourful, variety of life beneath the waves ranging from this massive wonderful visitor to tiny plankton. The days meeting was also attended by marine experts, bird lovers, planners, local authority, country side rangers, et al. And us, the accommodation providers for all those wanting to stay and visit and witness the diversity of natural life that we are so fortunate in having around us.
We also had a very good lunch!
How pleasant to spend the day away from the steam press and mix with others as passionate as we are in protecting our environment.
