Risso’s dolphins are mysterious creatures usually only found in deep, offshore waters.

These globe-spanning seabirds can often be seen offshore in autumn, shearing low over the waves.

This strange furry creature often found washed ashore after storms is actually a kind of worm!

Our smallest breeding seabird, the storm petrel is barely larger than a house martin! They mostly nest among rocks or in burrows on small offshore islands.

The little grebe is a fantastic diver, but to help it swim underwater, its feet are placed towards the back of its body, making it rather clumsy on land. It only really comes ashore to breed.
