Great Shearwaters

Back on the last day of August I booked up a days trip out on a boat from Falmouth to look for seabirds anf maybe some Dolphins and hopefully a Whale. The weather seemed o.k on dry land but the wind had changed direction from the day before when apparently it was dead calm, so this day proved to be pretty choppy, consequently we had to hug the coast on the way out and did'nt see a lot. However out in deeper water, things looked up, seeing lots of Common Dolphin , a few Cory's Shearwater and good numbers of Great Shearwaters coming quite close to the boat. This was the species I most wanted to see and photograph, so a worthwhile trip in the end.
