Club member Stuart Baines presented his work with sea mammels along the Yorkshire Coast. This was accompanied by some stunning photography. Stuart talked with obvious enthusiasm about this field, in which he has carved out a niche for himself as a local ‘citizen scientist’. All these animals are being seen at increasing frequencies in the last few years, which in the case of the dolphins particularly, is good news for the local economy in that they undoubtedly attract more visitors to our area. Stuart speculated on why the dolphins have gradually spread southwards from their Scottish strongholds, and also why they are now been seen more frequently in the winter months. Increasing fish stocks and hence population pressure may be the possible explanation, coupled with the undoubtedly increased numbers of observers looking for them.

Charity Presentation
Past Chairman Dave presented a cheque for £500 to the Rainbow Centre. Dave is pictured with Rainbow Centre Manager Trish Kinsella and Trustee John Trebble. The cheque was the result of collections and fund raising during his year(s) as Chairman. It was a great effort by Dave and the club as for much of his time as Chairman there were no face-to-face meetings due to the covid pandemic. Charitable giving is a major part of the club’s ethos, and this year we will be doing our best to contribute to Chairman Peters nominated charity The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.
