One of the constant background sounds of my summer on the Tay is the unmistakable call of the Sandwich tern. ❤️

That loud, rasping, almost squeaky call has accompanied me for thousands of miles on the water. Often you hear them before you see them, usually hovering above the water before plunging headfirst after a fish.

They’ve been with us all summer, particularly around Abertay Sands and Tentsmuir but now it’s time for them to head south.

Many will travel thousands of miles to spend our winter along the African coast, in countries including Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone and Ghana. Some will travel even further, reaching Namibia and South Africa.

Quite an incredible journey for a bird weighing just 250 grams or so!

As the last of them leave the Tay, it’s another reminder that our summer season is coming to an end. The estuary will be a wee bit quieter without them.

Those hairdos though, wee punks ❤️

Dolphin 🐬 today in Broughty Ferry!

Group of around 6 getting themselves some (and I know I’ll get varying opinions about this🤣) Salmon 🍣

Great to see them around as we have a longer trip to St Andrews available to book this Sunday. Departing Broughty Ferry at 1pm and looking for any wildlife we can find on the sea. In last weeks we’ve seen Minke whales, porpoise, dolphin and of course lots of birdlife with the beautiful gannets being the stars of the show ♥️

I hope to do some estuary tours in the October holidays, weather/ tides not very friendly next week atm but will update as it changes 😊

St Andrews trip Tuesday 10am approx 4hrs now available to book directly on our website. Weather currently looking great. Cooler now of course so need to rug up a bit and waterproof jacket 🧥 at least essential. Last trip we saw Minke whales and porpoise and we’ll be looking for those as well as Dolphin, seals and any seabirds we can find. We’ll stop for a break at St Andrews to use harbour cafe(or bring your own snacks) and toilets etc.
Always a great group experience with many single passengers so please don’t be shy of coming on your own ♥️

Happy 80th Birthday 🎂 Paddle Ship Waverley 🥳

She visited Dundee last year and we were lucky enough to be invited out to take some photos of her by Forth Ports Limited. I’d never seen her before and was really taken aback by what a beauty she was ♥️

With heavy rain ☔️ forecast for most of the day our trips are cancelled today Sunday 27th 😔

All passengers have been contacted via text with a few by email where numbers didn’t work 🫶

This was our last weekend of Estuary tours and we’ve managed none. Not good for you or us especially with a number of you having been rebooked from cancellations due to previous high winds. I’m sorry for the disappointment this inevitably causes 🙏September has not been kind to us this year 😩

We may offer a 4 hour trip to St Andrews tomorrow 1-5pm ish please dm or comment if you are interested. Once we are sure if tomorrows forecast we’ll post here later ♥️

I’m going to gather my thoughts 💭 before doing a round up on season that has delivered so many fantastic experiences for so many. It’s been long but has passed in a flash 😧
