On passage back to St, Justinians from Pwllheli after the Celtic Challenge rowing race, we came across two minke whales feeding. This was the best clip we had as one surfaced to breathe close by.

Last Saturday we headed out to Grassholm with the RSPB wardens to for the first gannet surveillance trip of the season. It was a special day with for Thousand Islands as the two youngest members of the team came along to assist, with ‘aunty Ffi’ from Falcon Boats, who used her small boat skills she has honed in far off waters to land Greg and Nia on to Grassholm, to change memory cards and batteries in their camera traps. Alys remained onboard to direct Will on the drones flight path to best record the gannets and assess the health of the colony, which all looks good at present! Richardson’s Media were chosen by the RSPB to record the drone footage for the gannet surveillance, due to their expertise in this field, as this is a very delicate operation that has to be carried out very carefully to avoid any disturbance to the colony. We would like to thank @RSPB for involving us in this project along with @richardsonmedia for the use of the aerial shots shown in the video.

Great to see a small pod of common dolphins feeding inshore on our 1 1/2hr Ramsey Island Adventure this afternoon. There were also a few porpoise and gannets getting in on the action. #Ramseyisland #birdwatching #commondolphin #dolphin #porpoise
Gower Ranger has many surveys and inspections throughout the year to keep her licenses up to date, but yesterday saw our most important inspection! Jinx and his handler Greg came onboard to ensure no unwanted passengers of furry and tailed variety were trying to make their way across to the Island.
