The Sussex Wildlife Trust has announced that there have been 18 Cetacean (collective name for whales, dolphins and porpoises) sightings reported to the Brighton Dolphin Project in 2018 (website). This includes 10 bottlenose dolphin, 3 common dolphin, 1 harbour porpoise and 4 unidentified cetacean sightings. Indeed, when kayaking across to France in order to raise money for the Elsie-Rose & Friends Foundation (blog), Mark reported seeing 2 pods of porpoises accompanying them for part of their journey, so plenty of cetaceans around the Sussex and Kent coasts!
If you wish to add to the records of the Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre based at the Sussex Wildlife Trust, please go to their website, many thanks.
