Feeding Frenzy – 24/11/24
Yesterday we had a day on land due to stormy weather. Today, when we went out, we experienced a huge swell, but luckily many animals close by. Huge snow clouds were sitting low, giving us a pretty dark day. Herring tends to come closer to the surface when it is darker, so we were lucky…
