Buzzing to have had my first ever humpback whale sighting this afternoon - just off RNAD Coulport. Too far away for pictures but had a clear view with and without binoculars - awesome 🤩🐋 @CWDW_research

Lovely pictures from Michael 🥰 We are so lucky to have him as part of the CWDW team 🐬🐬🐬

Amazing to watch so many Gannets diving off of The Esplanade this afternoon 🤩 Clearly lots of food around for them - great for the birds and our cetaceans 🐬🤞🏼@CWDW_research

@CWDW_research @ScotWildlife @VisitScotland Three dolphins (we think!) spotted in the Firth of Clyde between Largs and @yachthavenlargs today! People were telling each other along the walkway, so everyone just stopped to watch. The dolphins certainly put on a wee show for us all!
