Wildlife View Blog

Starting this Blog in August 2025, its not easy to think back and write about everything I have seen so far. After some thinking i wanna start with the first big animal i have seen ever:

Location: Ferryland Lighthouse, from shore

Me and my good friend flew to a distaned relative of mine, that lives in Newfoundland, Canada. We stayed a few days with him in the vicinity of St. Johns and the startet our Roadtrip from St. Johns parallel to the East Coast trail south, then doing the so called Irish loop, which i will tell you more about in the next Posts.

And just in the beginning of our Roadtrip we saw these humpbacks in a small bay ob the right hand side of the ferryland lighthouse.

To be entirely honest: We did a few days before See 1 Minke whale from a boat. But as you may now, these animals are very shy and we couldnt get any pictures of him. This makes ne remember a few first Tipps I can give you about whale watching:

1. Inform yourself of nearby sightings in the last days. When we did the boat tour from St. Johns, we didnt know there werent any humpbacks nearby. And the humpbacks are the whales you mainly wanna see (more explanation later). There are Apps or Websites for that. Mostly locally Sites. If I find one for St. Johns, i will add that Here later.
2. If you have the time, look on a map, Like Google Maps and visit Sites in shore that Go a little bit on the ocean, Like a cape or Kind of Like an Edge – Like ferryland Lighthouse. Sometimes you get lucky and there are multiple spots on the East Coast trail, Where you regulary See whales!

As this ist my first post, i dont really now what im doing. Just thinking I saw some great animals and i wanna share the Images/videos with you as well as my experiences on the locations for watching them. Also I didnt Upgrade to Premium yet, so i cant Post Videos yet. I will think about solutions, because the Videos i Have, are far better than the Pictures.

Enjoy.
