Day 4 - About Windhoek & Boat Trip

Day 4 was the day for the highly anticipated boat trip, but first we took a stroll around Walvis Bay in search of the Orange River White-eye. After ticking that one off easily we embarked on our boat trip. 
On the boat I had anticipated some good seabirds like albatrosses and petrels, but we were walled in sea mist, so if there were any good sea birds then we wouldn't have seen them anyway. However, it was still an amazing experience that produced some wonderful wildlife. We had Cape Fur Seals on board our boat, as well as Great White Pelicans with their huge wingspan brushing past us!  We also saw an incredibly speedy Wilson's Storm Petrel whiz past, as well as Cape Gannets and the star mammal; a Heaviside's Dolphin! This dolphin is endemic to the Benguela coast, and I managed to get a photo!

After the boat trip we heard reports of the first ever House Crow in Namibia hopping round Walvis Bay port that day. So after a light bite and a look around the souvenir shops, I spotted it! A first for Namibia, and a lifer for not only me, but for our Namibian guide as well!
