Dolphins and Puffins

This week i headed for Snowdonia with my daughter and i had booked on a dolphin and puffin watching cruise out of Phwelli on the Shearwater.

We were put off from Wednesday and realised that it had not sailed for 2 weeks because of the weather but we were in luck today and wow what a cruise.

We saw a small pod of dolphins that were feeding rather than wanting to play. But we did get really close.

It is fantastic to see them up so close and give you a real sense of enjoyment. They are fun and enjoying themselves and really want you to be part of that - a great emotional experience really.

Well yes and it didn't disapoint on the puffins either. We chased a large flock around trying to take some photos and this was the best i could get. You would think that was enough but the bird life on the cliffs was fantastic too.

There were Guillemots, Black guillemots, kittewakes, fulmers, shags, cormerants, gannets, shearwaters, all the gulls, rock pipits.....

...Oh and seals too!

What a fantastic day and with a view like this out of the back of the boat i can't wait for my next trip!
