Stormy Strumble Porp!

A stormy Strumble Porp this morning!
 
Thankfully we were spared the worst of the storm but it was pretty rough at Strumble when I joined a small gang of hardy watchers there this morning. It was difficult to see any thing much in the breakers, but I did manage to get a shot of one porp! 
None the less lots of seabirds were blown into Cardigan Bay by yesterdays sou-westerly gales and it was interesting to watch twenty odd Bonxies, (Great Skuas) a Pom and an Arctic Skua battling there way back out along with a couple of late Manxies...There were also hundreds of Kittiwakes, Auks and Gannets providing a real Seabird spectacular. 
I had to leave early but we will be back for our porpoise watch there this afternoon at 2.30. lets hope the porp's are still there!
