Whaling - 27/03/09 - Saint Lucia

The view south to the Pitons along the west coast

A brace of spanking laughing gulls

Magnificient frigatebirds are frequently encountered here working the coastline and close inshore

This morning saw me aboard a whale-watching boat. Conditions were poor with a 6-8 foot swell and a brisk northerly wind. Despite these less than ideal conditions we did manage to get good, but all too brief, views of two sperm whales and had an equally brief encounter with a small group of busy, feeding pantropical spotted dolphins. Birding was poor however with just a single adult pomarine skua being of any significance.
