Bottlenose, Risso’s, and Common dolphins made an appearance at the two national whale & dolphin week surveys (organised by the Seawatch Foundation) that I joined in on over the last two weekends. Lizard point & Sennen Cove also turned the weather on - couldn’t ask for much more!

big low tides this weekend! combined with some cornish sunshine led to some magical wildlife encounters at gylly beach today, including my first time meeting an octopus in the wild!
