Dolphin spotters were treated to a rare sight in Cardigan Bay this week, when a minke whale approached their boat.

The survey team at Sea Watch Foundation, a national charity working to protect marine wildlife, were treated to an amazing minke whale sighting on 20 June, 2024, exactly one year after the first reported minke whale sighting in the bay in a decade.

The team was conducting a line transect survey, scientifically measuring the abundance and distribution of marine species.
