Rare Whale in Scilly Waters!!

On Friday 20th February a whale was seen and photographed close inshore in Par Bay, St. Martin’s. From the photos it  has been identified by experts  as a Bow-headed Whale. This is the first record of this Arctic species for Britain and Europe!    

The ISBG would like to extend our sincere thanks for your continued support in 2014. Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year! Hope to see some of you on the islands in 2015!
