Did you know the Atlantic Grey Seals scientific latin name is halichoerus grypus, which translates to ‘hook-nosed sea pig’ 🐷 The grey seal can be differentiated by its larger size and longer head with a more ‘roman nose’ profile compared to that of the common seal 🦭 #seals

We are already looking forward to warmer weather, sun and blue skies here at Voyages 🌞 roll on 2024! 🌊 #ramseyisland #stdavids #skomerisland #grassholm #dolphins #porpoise #pembrokeshire #puffins #seabirds #auks #manxshearwater #visitpembrokeshire #seals #gannets #rspb

Manx Shearwaters are migrating members of the tube-nose family 🐦 During summer, they come to Pembrokeshire to nest and have their chicks. Over half the world’s manx shearwater population can be found on the Pembrokeshire islands Ramsey, Skomer and Skokholm during this time! 🐣

Shags and Cormorants are compromised diving seabirds as they only have partially waterproof feathers. This allows them to dive down deeper to catch fish. You will often spot them standing on rocks drying their wings out, which gives them an almost prehistoric appearance 🦇🦅

Gannets are Britain’s largest sea bird with a wingspan of up to 6 feet. They can dive into the water to catch fish at speeds of up to 60mph! 🐤 Book your offshore island and dolphin voyage with us for your chance to watch these amazing seabirds nest on Grassholm Island 🌊

Common Dolphins (latin name is delphinus delphis) 🐬 These are offshore species that belong to the cetacean family, but will come close to the shore to feed. They are very sociable marine mammals and can often be found working together in large pods to catch fish!

Risso’s Dolphins are mysterious, but fascinating creatures that are most often found in deep offshore waters! 🐬 Their bodies turn from grey to white in colour as they age from scarring and scratches, which is a result from rough behaviour either fighting or catching prey 🦑

St David’s looking very festive! 🎄✨ We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us here at Voyages of Discovery! 🎅🏼☃️ ramseyisland.co.uk
