• Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - Albatross & Whales

I went out to Berkeley Sound this morning to give customs clearance to a visiting vessel. In Port William there were large numbers of Sooty Shearwater & Black Browed Albatross.

On the way out of Berkeley Sound we could see at least 8 Sei Whales blowing in the distance, with a couple allowing us to approach quite close whilst they were feeding.
