Dunno if, with my flimsy sea legs, I could stomach that long.<br /><br />The Jays sighting is excellent, the only Blackpool jays I've ever seen have been in winter at the feeding station at the Mere, never even seen one at Stanley Park which I would've thought would be perfect for them, although maybe with them being so skittish the parks too busy for them?<br /><br />Cliffcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852242808951176597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886405372601892892.post-37923001571358895452010-09-27T10:04:49.849+01:002010-09-27T10:04:49.849+01:00Hi Monika

Could be something to do with the currents, we get the warming Gulf Stream coming across the Atlantic from the Caribbean. Does your coast get cold currents from the Arctic?<br />The crew had seen an Orca just before arriving in Northern Ireland a few weeks ago, no such luck for us though but certainly can't complain about our dolphin numbers particularly as they were so hard to see - wonder how many were attending the huge but too distant bait ball?<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DavoLancashire and Lakeland Outback Adventure Wildlife Safarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531370350323901851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886405372601892892.post-20863439670641529732010-09-27T04:09:19.428+01:002010-09-27T04:09:19.428+01:00Interesting to read about your sea excursion.

They're rarely seen north of California on our coast.Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442975942250078450noreply@blogger.com
