Biscay 'Big Whale Watch' 28-30 Sept

A beautiful sunrise could be just what you need if you too are feeling the blues in our damp British summer, and this photo, taken by Dylan, see’s the sun beginning to shine on the Bay of Biscay.

Biscay seem relevant since we’ve an exciting whalewatching trip there at the end of September (our ‘Big Whale Watch’ on 28th-30th September to be precise) as part of our new partnership with Brittany Ferries and the charity ORCA (Organisation Cetacea). We’ll be looking out for whales & dolphins – there should be hundreds of sightings - on our end of summer trip across the Bay aboard Brittany’s flagship cruise-ferry Pont Aven, and it only costs from £99 per person, with ORCA benefitting from every booking www.brittanyferries.com/whale 0871 244 9441. The photo could be a metaphor too, as that sunrise heralds the first event too for our re-launch as Planet Whale http://www.planetwhale.com/Bay%20of%20Biscay.html

Finally, we’ll soon be appearing live at our nation’s greatest gathering of wildlife enthusiasts – the British Birdwatching Fair. On Friday at 2.00pm hear Dylan talk about UK dolphins, on Saturday at 4.30pm Ian brings Baja California to life, and on Sunday at 10.30am you can learn all about the Bay of Biscay. We’ll be the good looking ones (!) on the ORCA stand in Marquee 1, stand 32 and there will be Dylan book signings, interactive workshops, and celebrity appearances . . . Chris Packham of BBC ‘Inside Out’ will about (and we’re delighted that he’s agreed to become a new patron of ORCA!). Can’t wait.
