Looking back on the 2021 Hebrides Wildlife Season, common dolphins have been a constant companion alongside highlights such as breaching minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and lots and lots of puffins.
CalMac passengers have been experiencing some great encounters with wildlife this month, from puffins to minke whales, and our luck with the weather has continued into August with only the odd day of rain and wind, very unusual for Scotland!
Most people are familiar with this term, it refers to a layer of fat that is unique to marine mammals that enables them to survive in cold water! Find out more in our latest Wildlife Officer blog.
