Coordinating @CWTSeaquestSW doesn’t get much better than our last few watches 🤩 2 groups of Porpoise at Polruan, breaching Tuna at Porthgwarra, Minkes, seal and sunfish at The Rumps 😍 I love my job! #cornwallwildlifetrust #CitizenScience #marinemegafauna

Another fantastic boat trip today with @ak_cruises and @VJHobson for the @MarineVertsMSc course @ExeterMarine. We were blessed 🙏🏼with amazing weather and saw hundreds of #dolphins, over a thousand #bluefintuna, some harbour porpoises (including a calf!) and even a #puffin!

[Becky Thomas @R_L_Thomas]

🙏🏼Perfect morning on the water being greeted by a pod of common dolphins just after leaving Mousehole harbour🐬 #ilovemyjob

🚨In our latest publication, we used #CitizenScience observations to show that the #cuttlefish #Sepiaofficinalis, despite usually being considered asocial, may temporarily form groups and even display #shoaling behaviour. Hot off the press in #Ethology: https://t.co/WdNqhedFte

In Malagasy, whale sharks are called marokintana, translating as "many stars". Their Japanese name is jinbei zame, the “patterned pyjama shark”. In Kenyan Swahili, they are papa shilling, “the shark covered with coins”. In Vietnamese they are cá Ông, literally “Sir Fish”. (1/5)

😌Wally has finally found a good place to rest 😌

⛵️After a few turned over boats we and the locals on the Isles of Scilly are happy Wally the Walrus has found a floating pontoon to rest on instead.

👏🏼Hopefully he continues to take advantage of the pontoon.

🌟!Wally the Walrus in Porthcressa Bay!🌟

On the 17th June Wally was seen for hours swimming between boats in Porthcressa Bay, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly.

👉How amazing is this footage!? Share with your friends and put a smile on their faces.

🤩INCREDIBLE images of Wally from the Isles of Scilly😄

One of our Seaquesters Rachel Box had the priviledge of watching Wally swim around Porthcressa bay for a couple of hours last week!

👉Please respect his space and make the police aware of any disturbance.

Confirmed sighting of Orcas in Cornwall!! What an exciting morning we have had already 🤩

[Seaquest Southwest @CWTSeaquestSW]

📢 West coast community ORCAS spotted in Cornwall! 🚨

⭐️ Perhaps one of the most exciting marine life sightings in recent years⭐️

Photos from the Minnack validated the orca sighting, but also identified the individuals involved as John Coe and Aquarius!

[Michael Amos Photography @AmosPhotography]

I had an absolutely terrific day at Porthcurno watching six basking sharks swimming below the cliffs! @BBCCornwall @CBWPS1 @Intocornwall @beauty_cornwall @CornwallLive @CwallWildlife @CWTSeaquestSW @piratefm @MARINElife_UK @SeaWatchersUK @SharkTrustUK @porthcurnotoday

Great #basking shark sightings in Mount's Bay at the moment. @SeaMonstersTale @CWTSeaquestSW @SharkTrustUK @t__horton @DrMJWitt @MarineVerts

[Seaquest Southwest @CWTSeaquestSW]

💙We had a great day yesterday at Rame Head for our first Public Sea Watch of 2021🥳

We didn’t see any megafauna this time- sounds like the basking sharks were at Lands End and the cetaceans were visiting Padstow!😅

But a lovely sunny day, glassy waters and great company!

[Emily Roebuck @EmilyRoebuck8]

Received our MMO training certificate this week from @stephbarnicoat at @SeicheTraining and a great talk this morning from Abby, Becky and Clare at @CWTSeaquestSW @CwallWildlife
Expect to now find me on a local headland with my binoculars, ID book, hot chocolate & biscuits🍪
