Skybus fly all year round to the Isles of Scilly from Land's End and Newquay Airport or during the main (spring/summer/autumn) season from Exeter, Bristol and Southampton Airports.
There were a total of 14 Surveys carried out, which included 3 rearranged due to bad weather/unsurveyable sea conditions.
85 Separate sightings logged with a total of 247 cetaceans seen including Harbour Porpoise, Common, Bottlenose and Risso’s Dolphins and 1 Minke Whale (a rarity this year and this sighting on the last survey of the season 15 Oct),
4 Basking Sharks, 36 grey Seals, 4 Sunfish (Mola Mola) plus a wide variety of seabirds and migrating birds.
Needless to say the highlight of the season was the sighting of 3 Risso’s Dolphins in August, not seen before by ORCA surveyors on the Scillonian route - a shy Dolphin usually found in deeper waters offshore, it has a tall sickle-shaped dorsal fin but is most noticeably recognised by the scarring covering its body, moreso on adults. A great ‘first’ to add to our data, which now covers 3 years of surveying on this route.
