[5 Grey Seal, Bottlenose Dolphin*]


* Bottlenose Dolphin was a real Surprise, as I thought that I would have been lucky to get Harbour Porpoise, but obviously not! Lets hope this sort of thing Continues...Minke Whale Next time...???
Red Breasted Merganser was new for the year (amazingly!) The Manxies were new to lancashire for me, and the Skuas were a nice sightings, as 2007 is a new year for them, for me anyway.
