Stunning trip out on the water today, 2 seals hung out with us through the caves. We saw 2 Perigrine Falcons displaying there air acrobatics and a seal sunning himself way after low water trying to get the most out of the lovely sunshine.

A lovely view into the tribulations of a seal.

We love Grey seals, and whilst these are both ' Grey Seals' neither look like they are! One is a handsome juvenile Grey Male seal, in his splendid coat of black, showing off his life long identifying markings, which are his fingerprint for life. The other seal, again a 'Grey' is going through his annual moult. It means his previous darker fur coat is dying off, going beige, making him unrecognisable for the time being, and meaning he needs time to rest and scratch and itch, whilst his new fur pattern comes through.

This period of his life is similar to a sunburn frustration, your skin itches, yet you know you shouldn't, your skin is more sensitive, so you feel the cold, you get tetchy, so just want to be left alone. Thankfully this seal has buddied up with a friend who's been through the same thing, so hopefully sharing words of wisdom!

We had a fun filled tour over the weekend. Our first bookings through a new agent with no reviews prior.

In the words of one of our clients:

Great kayaking, great host
Mar 2024 • Solo
Such a great trip. Kieran was a wonderful host/instructor making sure we were all having fun while being safe on the water. Really in-depth knowledge of the local area and landscape. We paddled out to a nearby beach, with Kieran giving us info on wildlife and landscape en route. We stopped for a rest and some delicious toasted marshmallows, then went on our way again, passing some dolphins!

Highly recommend booking with him.
