Hi Richard - push it back a bit and come as well!
Our Projects Development Officer, Dylan Walker, just came back from a 'Migration Special' wildilife cruise he was hosting on the DFDS Newcastle-Bergen ferry (we run surveys on this route each month) and although they didn't see any orca, they did have a pod of pilot whales following the boat up the fjiords. Plenty of birdlife as well, including sea eagles.
If you're catching the ferry, keep an eye out for our surveyors in the hi-vis jackets and have a chat.
We've just started a group on Facebook as well, so if you're interested, please go to
Facebook | Welcome to Facebook!, do a search for cetacea, and join!
Hope to see you in November, but if not, then have a great trip.
Stephen
