We were blessed with a variety of memorable experiences with a variety of amazing wildlife during our pelagic trips from Cape Clear Island, and it wasn't all about the birds by any means...
One of the stand-out highlights for all of us was the spectacle of Short-beaked Common Dolphins, not just a little curious but positively over-friendly, and not just for a while but on multiple occasions and for extended periods during our trips.
A fantastic bonus was a very close Ocean Sunfish (too close for my lens for much of the time, so I defaulted to just enjoying the experience) which, after we cut the engine, also came up to the boat and checked us out for several minutes - magical! Throw in a few Bonxies (pictured below) and Arctic Skuas, and on top of the seabird action of the previous posts, it's safe to say we made the most of our bespoke access to this idyllic, incredible corner of the world.
