we&#8217;re searching for <em><strong>dolphins<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 We&#8217;re doing cetacean surveys on all of our pelagic trips this year and Caroline and Genine had only just started recording the environmental conditions, as we settled on to a steady course, when Tim spotted <em><strong>dolphins<\/strong><\/em> ahead of the boat \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 This first group of 5 <em><strong>White-beaked Dolphins<\/strong><\/em> buzzed the boat a couple of times but were clearly on a mission and quickly departed to the south.\u00a0 We resumed our original course and passed by <em><strong>Kittiwakes, Gannets<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>Guillemots <\/strong><\/em>before eventually turning back south as the Sun sank lower in the sky towards a slight break in the cloud.\u00a0 The swell was building, and the gloom of dusk was taking hold when our second group of <em><strong>White-beaked Dolphins<\/strong><\/em> for the evening appeared, and these ones were in a much more playful mood \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>All of our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northernexperiencewildlifetours.co.uk\/tour\/3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4hr evening sailings<\/a> apart from
