Hi,
I’ve been on the island for the last fortnight with only one sighting of a single porpoise.
I’ve been on the island for the last fortnight with only one sighting of a single porpoise.
The local boats have also been noticing their absence.
However, today 1 porpoise off the north west point and 5-6 just south of the sound, feeding and surfing the swell.

Thanks for letting us know Andrew, as we have had unusually high numbers of porpoises in the area just south of Milford on our recent small boat surveys and also very high numbers from the ferry right across from Fishguard to Rosslare!
On the other hand Holly and her porp fin team visited the sound on Monday and drew a blank!
Just why they should seem to have deserted Ramsey sound albeit (hopefully) temporarily is a bit of a mystery. According to the experts it is the height of their breeding season and so this might have something to do with it. Perhaps they have been out looking for mates or a holiday in Ireland? seriously though it would be good to have a better connection with Greg and Lisa with regards to the porpoises! I must make the effort to pop over there some time!
