Duncansby Head viewpoint for sea watch
DUNCANSBY Head is the place to be tomorrow (Saturday) to be on the lookout for whales and dolphins as part of a national watch.
The event, organised by the Sea Watch Foundation, will be held across the UK from July 25 to August 2 to help create a snapshot of the mammals’ distribution and contribute to a 13-year dataset.
Around the UK coast up to 28 species of whales and dolphins can be seen. Some species, such as the bottlenose dolphin, tend to be seen in particular locations around the UK whereas other species like the harbour porpoise and minke whale have a more widespread distribution.
The local watch will be held from 10am. People taking part are asked to report their sightings to the Sea Watch Foundation.
