Thursdays boat trip on Celtic Wilcat cancelled due to yukky weather, Ferry Trip on Stena Europe on Friday marred by stronger winds and rain than forecasted. Saturday better but only a few porps seen.
Stevo Locas and Dad Tony had better luck at Mwnt where they had the lovely experience of a Bottlenose mother teaching her calf to dive and feed, just below them for over an hour. The Mother and calf were joined by two more adults and a calf to finish a really rewarding watch.
From Alison Ross;
Hi Cliff. I hope you're well, and dodging all this rain!!! Only one or two porps sighted at Ramsey Sound on Sat.25th July. A few more seen today Mon.27th July, probably about half a dozen, including a calf. Sightings of porps there over the last couple of months are generally down on the equivalent months last year. Hopefully it's a temporary trend and the numbers will pick up again. There is quite intense boat activity now in the Sound which is frustrating for a porpoise-watcher! Some behave in a wildlife-friendly way and some do not,(in my opinion!) All the best...
