Staithes pelagic, 24th Aug '24 - whales, dolphins and more

From last week's YCN Seabird and Whale Adventure out of Staithes, North Yorks - lots of marine mammals, to say the least - which included abut 20 Minke Whales, 25 Bottlenose Dolphins, 60+ Grey Seals and a couple of Harbour Porpoise.
Several of the Minkes and dolphins had recognisable individual dorsal fins, which I'm chasing up and will update when there's positive IDs, but a couple of the Minkes are IDable as Jigsaw and Ell - more details to follow.
