All enthusiasts welcome.
1 August 1998 Continual poor weather, with rain reported in most days of July, and small tornados reported near the end of the month with thunderstorms. Marine wildlife reports were predictably poor. The pod of at least 6 Killer Whales, Orcinus orca, seen yesterday spent most of the day around the coast of Fladdabister in the Shetland Isles, before heading back north in the evening to Gulberwick and around into Briewick Bay again. A formation of 4 Little Egrets, Egretta egretta, spotted flying over Brighton, Sussex. They were photographed from a helicopter and also from the Fair Isle ferry which was about 100 metres away from them.
