Weather permitting, the MWT Southern Group has organised a coastal boat trip from Port St. Mary, taking in the Sugarloaf Rock to see the seabirds. And who knows what else you might see too? Seals? Dolphins? Basking Sharks? Fabulous jelly fish swimming under the water? I have seen all of these from this very same boat on similar trips over the years. The coastal geology is amazing too.
Here are a few photos I took in May this year when the boat was chartered by the Manx Ornithological Society.

The boat leaves Port St. Mary breakwater at 1.45
but booking is essential so if you are interested you need to ring our Secretary, Janet Thompson, on 835524 very, very soon as the boat only holds 12 passengers. The cost is £25 per person which includes a £5 donation to the Manx Wildlife Trust.
An afternoon of wildlife watching you won't forget!
