I enjoy going whale watching and although it's hit or miss that we see a whale close enough to see much whale, there are always thousands dolphins playing off the coast of SoCal, so the trip is always a success in my eyes. And yes, they treat bow waves like play grounds.
I see a lot of birds but very few mammals - a few rascally rabbits, the occasion muntjac or roe deer - and very rarely, a fox or a weasel.
I saw my first ever chiffchaff this morning - I've heard them quite often, but I actually saw this one. I saw my first ever redpoll a just over a week ago, at the The Lodge (the RSPB's headquarters) nature reserve . Locally there are lots of wildfowl at our local Country Park, some bright green invaders (Let the Reader understand), and the usual parkland/suburban avifauna. Oh, and many Red kites!

BTW Mrs Gramps just saw a fox go through our back yard.
