The last day of September brought us sunshine and whales at last! After a tip off from the Birsay Bay Tearoom to say there were whales in the bay we set out on a mission to find them from our place.

After about half an hour we spotted gulls & gannets feeding out from our cliff & amongst them a fin. In fact it soon became apparent there were 3 Minke whales enjoying a feed. We watched these whales for about two & a half hours & got some great sights of their mouths, long backs as they circled their well earned food.

It was a wondorous sight on a calm, sunny sunday afternoon…
