California Whale Watching in Monterey Bay

On Friday 5th August we went on a half day (morning) whale watching trip in Monterey Bay. A detailed account of our fantastic trip will follow in the holiday trip report on ELBF (http://www.elbf.co.uk/tripreports/htm in a week or so.

We were lucky to see 2 Blue and 26 Humpback Whales, 100+ Rissos Dolphins and double figure Northern Right Whale Dolphins, as well as 3 Black Footed Albatross', Cassin's Auklet, Red Necked and Red Phalaropes, Sooty Shearwaters, a probable Pink Footed Shearwater and many Common Murre.
