Land Ahoy!

Its hard to believe that it's the last week in period one this year already and it's been a busy few days too! The land surveys kicked off, with plenty of bottlenose dolphins venturing into the bay to feed - Saturday the dolphins came in close to the harbour wall with one steeling the spotlight of the windsurfer in the bay, delighting the tourist crowds!



The casual surveys have continued on both the Ermol and Islander boat trips with plenty of dolphins, seals and a lonely harbour porpoise still (bravely) in the bay with so many dolphins about!



Its wonderful news for the area, we can confirm that it was definitely an otter Helene saw last week (see What an Otter Nonsense), one of her photos held the proof, hopefully there are plenty more sightings to come.



In other news, lets's hope the winning streak carries on as the volunteers continue to win their beer money at the weekly bingo in the Queen's (the locals are threatening to ban us). While this Wednesday its 'Cream Tea' for dinner, a little farewell for those leaving the sandy shores of New Quay this weekend. Big thank you for your help, we'll miss you.


Meanwhile its celebration time on Sunday 6th June - we've arrange a few fun filled events to celebrate world oceans day, for more information check out our web page. Let's hope the sun continues to shine!
