  • News Sheet August/September 2011
    NEWS SHEET AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2011 Editorial This newsletter covers two strongly contrasting months. We had Danielle Gibas August with the National Whale and Dolphin Watch and its boom in Sightings Officer sightings followed by unfortunate bad weather in September and an inevitable decrease in reports. Although some species cropped up reliably in all the expected places, we also had a few unexpected sightings of sei and sperm whales in the Hebrides, some interesting strandings around the UK and fascinating bottlenose behaviour in Cardigan Bay. All this goes to show that sheer determination pays off and by being in the field as much as possible you eventually end up being in the right place at the right time… I’d like to thank all of our observers and regional coordinators who braved the sometimes uncooperative weather and sent in sightings thick and fast throughout the NWDW weekend and the rest of the season. Keep up the fantastic work! NEWS D Day for 10 th National Whale and Dolphin Watch As you all know, we celebrated our 10 th annual National Whale & Dolphin Watch (NWDW) on 5 th to 7 th August this year. Watches were held all around the country and we reached 434 sightings of cetaceans throughout the event and the week that followed. The event was a great success and we’d like to thank all our regional coordinators and observers who organised watches and events and submitted their sightings and effort data to us. The 2012 NWDW will be held on 27 th to 29 th July 2012 .
