Summary
Cetaceans can be seen throughout the year from different locations around the UK. North Wales is a good place to look for cetaceans. If you would like to find out more about these species, then this CPD webinar is for you.
Description
There are many cetacean species in the UK and North Wales gets a fair share of these magnificent marine mammals from the small, unassuming harbour porpoise to larger battle-scarred Risso’s dolphins. We’ve also had some surprising visitors and strandings of unusual species. This webinar will look at identification, distribution, feeding behaviour and reproduction, along with some of the threats facing cetaceans.
