We have had another wonderful season spotting wildlife from our cruises and onshore. There is no doubt having a dedicated Wildlife Guide helps idenitify habitat and find species and you never know what you are going to see! Amazing one-off sightings in 2019 include a unique appearance of an adult minke whale with calf; a very rare sighting of a fin whale and several sightings of the snowy owl on St Kilda. Here are some photos sent in by crew and guests - as always, puffins feature greatly and we have seen dolphins and white-tailed eagles on most cruises, often multiple times. Many other sea birds are well represented as well as seals, otters, red deer and cetaceans.
Hi Emma - It was lovely to meet you on the quay at Oban on Wednesday morning. We had an absolutly wonderful time on the Lucy Mary. She is a beautiful ship, the crew were absolutely wonderful, the food was incredible and the attention to the detail of all our needs was beyond anything we have ever experienced. On top of all that the weather was ridiculously perfect. We loved the islands, they are beautiful and the wildlife information helped us to recognize many species we had never seen before. It is not possible to express just how perfect the holiday was. Just a big thank you to Lewis, Zoe, Bella, Sian and Jasmine. (In no particular order). Thank you.
