Good Evening
TEMPERATURE: Max. 12.0 C Min. 8.8 C Reset 11.0
MARINE LIFE: Some fabulous marine events today, despite an early fog that reduced visibility to less than a quarter of a mile. A large pod of Orcas passed straight through the reserve late this afternoon, perhaps 6 in total. The whales seemed to be on the hunt however no Seals or Sea lions were taken. A Bald Eagle was also seen flying across west Race this afternoon, taking either a Oystercatcher, Crow or Pigeon Guillemot with it.
HUMAN IMPACT: A total of twelve eco-tourism boats were about the reserve today, most adhering to the reserve guidleines. However, one boat in particular was wthin the reserve directly following the Orcas. Despite an agreement to stay out of the reserve when whales are present in order to allow the whales some space. Hyaku and Zodiac also docked bringing equipment and supplies.
