Marine mammal experts surveying a special conservation area were taken by surprise when they encountered at least three minke whales last week.

New Quay, Ceredigion, is known for its bottlenose dolphins as one of only two semi-resident populations in the UK, but sightings of other species are much rarer.

Josh Pedley, of the Sea Watch Foundation, said: “The weather was perfect, with low winds creating a flat calm sea and this helped us get some stunning views and footage of one of the whales as they curiously approached our boat, passing directly underneath us on a couple of occasions.”

This is only the third minke whale sighting that the Sea Watch Foundation has recorded on surveys within the Cardigan Bay conservation area over the past three years, with each previous year the sighting falling in the month of June.
