Life on the ocean part 2

Two trips on the Scillonion, both in warm sunny weather, whats not to like. The wildlife from on board did not dissappoint with exceptional numbers of Shearwaters especially Cory's and Manx with a few Greats thrown into the mix , as well as the usual Gannets we also had Great Skua and a mega and lifer for me in the form of a Fea's type Petrel which was found by nearby birders, a bit distant but once picked out was obviously something different. Common Dolphins and porpoise were also spotted quite a few times. The second trip out was to see the Red Footed Booby, another mega and lifer for me , Normally found in tropical waters this was only the second recorded in Britain. After leaving the Scillonian we hopped straight onto another boat and headed out on a fifty minute trip towards the Bishops Rock lighthouse, its favoured resting place. On approach it was nowhere to be seen so some sad faces all around , we went further out and saw many Cory's Shearwaters, Dolphins and Grey Seals before trying again, but still no sign,a third try and to the skippers cedit on the fourth attempt the Booby had returned! Cheers all round to cap off a great trip.
