Was out in the Irish Sea last week doing a bit of surveying here's a few piccys and video of the trip.
Our cruise liner for the day the Halcyon Days with the survey lookout perched on top the wheel house.
In the lock watching the water level go down prior to entering the River Mersey below....
Burbo Bank Wind Farm just off the Wizzal coast.
Back in the lock as the water level rises we're dwarfed by the Irish Truck Ferry from Dublin.
Ornithologically we saw one
Arctic Skua just off Hilbre Island, about 500+
Manx Shearwaters most sat on the sea in the mill pond like conditions. Lots of
Guillemots many with youngsters a sign they've had a good breeding season. 100+
Gannets and
Kittiwakes and one lone adult
Little Gull. Add to that several close encounters with
Grey Seals and three sightings of
Harbour Porpoise made for a pleasant days
surveying.
