Saturday was the first of our 10hr ‘Northumberland Ultimate Pelagic<\/a>‘ trips this year, and I arrrived at Royal Quays to find eight, out of 12, clients already there and looking forward to the day out in Northumberland’s deep offshore waters.\u00a0 With everyone on board we set sail out of the Tyne in a fairly stiff breeze and on choppy water.\u00a0 An Arctic Skua<\/strong><\/em> was harrassing Kittiwakes<\/strong><\/em>, Fulmars<\/strong><\/em> and Gannets<\/strong><\/em> soared past on stiff outstretched wings, a flock of Knot<\/strong><\/em> flew by and, probably the most unexpected sighting of the day, a Common Swift<\/strong><\/em> was heading landwards from around 6 miles offshore.\u00a0 Puffins<\/strong><\/em> and Guillemots<\/strong><\/em> were sitting quietly on the sea and, as we headed further out, the breeze died away and we were on calm water when we found the first White-beaked Dolphins<\/strong><\/em> of the day.\u00a0 These 12 animals spent a little time bow-riding before peeling off and heading back to resume feeding.\u00a0 A few minutes later and a distant dolphin<\/strong><\/em> was breaching ahead of us.\u00a0 As we reached that spot, we suddenly had 10 White-beaked Dolphins<\/strong><\/em> bow-riding and at least another ten following close behind and alongside us \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
