BASKING IN THEIR GLORY

A superb 2.5 hour Wildlife Tour this evening included views of Corncrake, lots of Gannets and Manx Shearwaters, a plethora of orchids, a breaching Minke Whale and a juvenile Cuckoo being fed by a Twite at the side of the road. But it was Basking Sharks that stole the show, with 21 off Cliad, 1 from Hogh and a further 10 at Crossapol. Awesome views of some huge 8m long males and family parties.
