Having a quiet moment (for a change). Landing the catch of mackerel in Lerwick, it takes a little while to offload so hoping to head back out sometime tomorrow for a the last trip of the season. Felt a bit unsteady back on dry land, have adapted to life at sea very well. Really looking forward to seeing Autumnwatch this week, and seeing our contribution edited.

I contacted Andy Foote, a marine scientist specialising in killer whales. He has heard no accounts of associating with killer whales. Great to see something previously unknown.
This whole trip has just confirmed for me how amazing the British Isles are. To have had such an amazing wildlife encounter in our own backyard makes me immensely proud of our wild heritage. Autumnwatch and Springwatch are the ultimate celebrations of all the wild and wonderful creatures in our own country, so doubly proud to be involved in one of the best
series on British television.
A huge thanks to all back in Bristol for making this happen. There are so many creative and talented people behind the cameras on this series. It's them who make it all happen, helping the wildlife shine through for us all to enjoy.
Bing bong! Roy, the cook onboard, has just announced over the intercom 
on the wall in my cabin that dinner is served. This trip just keeps getting better and better.
